Vogt, Men's Lacrosse Power Past Manhattanville

PURCHASE, N.Y – Erik Vogt scored three goals and assisted on four others for a seven-point night as the Wentworth Institute of Technology men's lacrosse team downed Manhattanville, 17-10, in non-conference action Wednesday night.

Winners of four straight, the Leopards up their record to 7-2, while the Valiants fall to 1-6.

HOW IT HAPPENED:

• Scoring twice in a span of 64 seconds, Wentworth took a 2-0 lead, thanks to goals from Gabe Cobham and Richard Roy. Manhattanville used a pair of goals 2:20 apart to even the score at 2-all before Tyler Longo snapped the tie less than a minute later when he found the back of the net off a feed from Vogt.
• Longo's goal started a 7-0 run in which he bookended the run as his goal – also assisted by Vogt – with 8:01 left in the second quarter made it 9-2. During the run, Longo was one of five Leopards to score, while Vogt assisted on four of the seven goals. Two goals from Michael Swift and a single tally from Sean Larkin cut into the lead, making it 9-5 at the half.
• Wentworth scored three times in the first 3:52 of the third quarter to extend the lead to 12-5 as Dryden Fisher (14:21), Vogt (13:19), and Cobham (11:08) scored for the Black & Gold. With 10:13 left, the Valiants made it a 12-6 game, however, Carter Jozokos and Brendan Kroll pushed the lead to 14-6 after three quarters of play.
• Kroll and Vogt scored within 13 ticks of each other to make it 16-6 with 12:02 remaining in the contest. Manhattanville scored four of the final five goals of the game, with Kroll's man-up goal with 3:58 left rounding out Wentworth's scoring.
• In addition to Vogt's seven points, Kroll had three goals and an assist, Cobham recorded a hat trick, Drew Bouley had a goal and three assists, and Longo had two goals and an assist. Bouley, Vogt, Kyle Leger, Jake Rocchio, Dylan Sullivan, and Trevor Guilmette each scooped up three ground balls. Guilmette also had a pair of caused turnovers.
