After weather forced the contest to be moved back a day, the Lake Forest College men's lacrosse team hosted and defeated Edgewood College 17-9 on Thursday.

The Foresters got off to a great start with goals by seniors Connor Tartaglione and Trip Gaston and junior Gabe Boston in the game's first 90 seconds. Boston was dominant on face-offs, winning 12 of 14 in the contest to raise his percentage on the season to .590.

After the Eagles got on the scoreboard two minutes later, the home team rattled off four in a row with sophomore Macklin Thomas, senior Bode Rubright, freshman Aidan Wigton, and senior John Casey giving Lake Forest a 7-1 lead before Edgewood accounted for the final goal of the opening quarter.

Both teams scored twice in the second with Lake Forest's tallies coming from freshman John Shannon and junior Brendan Herbert, giving the home team nine goals by nine different players and a 9-4 lead at the break.

Junior Ryan Dousevicz became the team's 10th player to score just 40 seconds into the third quarter and Thomas became the first Forester with two on the day later in the period.

A five-goal run was started by senior Chas Dean and finished by classmate Otto Baumann, who was the 12th different Forester with a goal in the game. Herbert and Gaston netted their second of the contest and Thomas his third during the streak and Wigton struck again later in the quarter.

Herbert assisted on three of Lake Forest's tallies and five others set up one each, including Gaston, who moved into first place in team history with 52 in his career.

Senior Conor Murphy led the home team with six ground balls and four different Foresters had a pair of caused turnovers. The last line of defense, goalkeeper Andrew Widlar, stopped 10 of 17 Eagle shots on goal to earn the victory.

Lake Forest is now 3-4 overall this season and 2-0 in Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference play. Edgewood fell to 1-4 overall and 0-1 in the league.

The Foresters will continue conference play at Beloit College Saturday afternoon at 1:00.
