WASHINGTON, D.C. - The second quarter once again proved to the Shenandoah University men's lacrosse teams downfall - Tuesday afternoon it was Catholic University that did the damage in a 17-9 non-league victory.

Shenandoah (2-5) led 3-2 after the first 15 minutes of play only to see CUA (7-4) score six of seven goals in the second. The Cardinals scored the seven goals on just 12 shots and doubled up the Hornets in groundballs, 12-6.

Any thoughts of an SU comeback were dashed as CUA took a 13-7 lead into the fourth by outscoring Shenandoah 5-3 in the third.

Sophomore Martin Carlson led the visitors with five points on two goals and three assists while Stephen Mayor had three goals and one assist.

Senior goalkeeper John Schaefer made 13 saves in the losing effort.

Catholic outshot the Hornets 39-27 for the game and won the groundball battle 61-37.
