WASHINGTON, Pa. --
Tim Angell scored four of his career-high tying seven goals in the second half and helped Washington & Jefferson College tie the men's lacrosse program record for single-season wins after the Presidents defeated Notre Dame de Namur 13-10 on Monday evening at Alexandre Stadium. Â
By snapping a five-game losing streak, W&J (8-6) tied the 2009 squad for the highest single-season victory total in school history. Â The 2009 Presidents finished with an 8-5 record after winning four of their last five matches. Â
The 2015 Presidents are led by first-year Head Coach
Kevin Kustron. Â Before Monday's match, Kustron, the fourth head coach in W&J history, and the Presidents honored Angell, who became the program's all-time leading goal scorer Saturday at Susquehanna. Â Angelll now has 140 career goals, 34 of which have come during his senior season.
Angell netted the Presidents' first two goals against NDNU to give W&J a 2-0 edge after 15 minutes. Â Notre Dame de Namur fought back with three second-quarter tallies, but
Kyle Heinig put the Presidents in front 7-3 at the break after his goal 14 seconds before the first-half horn. Â
The Argonauts (2-9), members of NAIA Division II, closed to within 9-6 late in the third quarter; however, Angell had the answer once again with back-to-back goals 75 seconds apart. Â NDNU brought the deficit back to three goals twice in the final period, but that was as close as they would get. Â
Angell scored his seven goals on 13 shot attempts. Â He also scored seven times on March 2, 2013, during a 19-7 triumph over La Roche. Â
Zachary Fredericks added two goals and two assists, while
Kyle Heinig contributed a pair of goals and one helper. Â
Sidhartha Sharma and
Luke Georgi also found the back of the net for the Presidents. Â
Jacob Succop turned back 16 shots for the Presidents, who were outshot 38-32. Â Succop now has 180 saves, 21 away from breaking the single-season school record held by Ran Kirby '13. Â
Devin Laporte had four goals for NDNU and Xavier Guerrero notched nine saves. Â
