LYNCHBURG, Va. - Host Randolph College earned its first ODAC men's lacrosse win of the season by downing Shenandoah 12-8 Saturday afternoon.

Shenandoah (4-10, 0-7 ODAC) scored the game's initial two goals, but could only watch as Randolph (5-9, 1-7) answered with a five-goal run to take a lead it would not relinquish.

After Stephen LaTona scored off of a Tilghman Sanders assist with 3:14 to play in the first, the Hornets were held off the board until Sanders opened the second half scoring at the 12:46 mark of the third.

Aaron Paul converted a Dom Lombardi assist 88 seconds after Sanders' goal, but SU would get no closer than this one-goal deficit.

The 'Cats ended the third with a 4-1 run and never led their lead fall below four goals the rest of the way.

Paul led Shenandoah with four goals and one assist with LaTona adding two goals and Sanders a goal and two assists.

Ben Judy had 15 saves in the losing effort.

Randolph outshot SU 46-29, won 13 of 24 faceoffs and had a 33-27 advantage in groundballs.

The Hornets play their final away game of the season on Wednesday night at 7 p.m. against Bridgewater.
