The Penn State men’s lacrosse team, playing its first game under new head coach Jeff Tambroni, scored four fourth period goals and held off visiting Binghamton, 9-7, in the 2011 season opener for both teams.
Junior Matt Mackrides (Malvern Prep) scored four points (three goals, one assist) to lead Penn State while freshman goalie Austin Kaut (Springfield-Delco) made 10 saves and was outstanding in the cage.
Also for the Nittany Lions, freshman Shane Sturgis (Downingtown East) and Colton Vosburgh (Unionville) each had a goal and an assist and Billy Lloyd (Unionville) scored once.
Binghamton took its second lead of the game just 0:30 into the fourth quarter when David Raleigh scored unassisted. But Penn State quickly answered, getting an unassisted goal from Sturgis at the 13:47 mark to tie the contest at 6-6.
PSU’s Kyle VanThof then broke the tie with the game’s only man-up goal. VanThof took a Billy Gribbin pass and found the back of the net with 10:48 left in the game to give Penn State a 7-6 lead. The Lions would never trail again.
Mackrides tacked on a goal off a Vosburgh assist with 8:55 left to put the Lions up 8-6. Perrelle scored for Binghamton at the 5:23 mark and then Lloyd took a Mackrides pass and scored with 1:53 left in the game to ice the contest.
