Baltimore, MD—Sophomore attackman Brendan Mundorf scored a career high 7 goals and added 2 assists and senior face off specialist Pat Muston re-established his dominance as UMBC (5-5) defeated crosstown rival Loyola (3-6), 13-7, at UMBC Stadium.
Mundorf’s seven goals was the most for a Retriever since Chris Turner scored 7 against Towson on April 25, 1999. He notched four goals and added an assist as UMBC broke open a close contest with a 6-0 run in a six-minute span of the fourth quarter.
Muston, ranked sixth in the nation in face-off percentage, rebounded from a subpar effort at fifth-ranked North Carolina on Saturday. He controlled 18 of 23 draws and garnered nine ground balls to give the Retrievers dominance in time of possession.
Loyola’s Matt Monfett tied the score at 3-3 with 3:19 remaining in the second quarter. But UMBC junior midfielder Joe Cahill scored on unassisted goal just 47 seconds later to give UMBC the lead for good, and sophomore middie James Hyland scored 16 seconds later after another Muston face-off win to put UMBC ahead, 5-3 at intermission.
UMBC stretched the lead to 7-3 on goals by Mundorf and Franklin Berry 5:59 into the third quarter, but Loyola’s Matt Cassalia cut the gap to 7-4 late in the period. Mundorf opened the fourth quarter with an unassisted goal at the 3:38 mark, and then finished the 6-0 with another unassisted score just under six minutes later. The Greyhounds scored the game’s final three goals in the last 3:41 of play.
Cahill and Berry each scored twice for UMBC, and freshman attackman Drew Westervelt added a goal and two assists. Monfett and linemate Stephen Brundage led LC with two goals each. In the nets, junior netminder Kevin Cepelak made 10 saves, and allowed Loyola’s first five goals in just of 58 minutes of action. Loyola’s Michael Fretwell went the distance and made 12 saves for the visitors.
The Greyhounds have now dropped three straight games. The meeting was the first between the two schools since 1996, and the Retrievers snapped a nine-game losing streak to Loyola. UMBC’s last win in the series occurred in 1987, but they still maintain a 15-13 series advantage. The Retrievers are now 4-0 when scoring the game’s first goal.
