Edward Noonan logs multiple points for third-consecutive game; Ryan Dintaman scores twice

SYRACUSE, N.Y. (March 19, 2011) -- The Franklin Pierce University men's lacrosse team dropped a 20-4 decision to No. 4-nationally ranked Le Moyne on Saturday afternoon in Syracuse, N.Y. The Ravens dipped to 2-2 overall and 0-1 in the Northeast-10 Conference, while the Dolphins improved to 3-1 and 1-0 in league play.

Freshman midfielder Edward Noonan (Foxboro, Mass.) and junior attacker Ryan Dintaman (Northfield, Mass.) each scored a pair of unassisted goals on the afternoon for the Ravens. It marked the fourth-straight game Noonan recorded at least one point, and the third-straight contest he logged multiple points.

Le Moyne opened the game with a pair of goals, but the Ravens countered with a tally with a little more than four minutes remaining in the first quarter as Dintaman tallied his first marker.

However, the Dolphins had an answer and bridged the first, second, third and fourth quarters with 12-consecutive goals to open up a commanding 14-1 advantage.

Dintaman tossed in his second goal at the 13:11 mark of the fourth to cap his offensive day, and Noonan scored twice in the final 2:52 to round out the scoring for the Ravens.

Franklin Pierce rookie Tim Izzo (Trumbull, Conn.) started in goal and suffered the loss after playing 50 minutes and making nine saves while yielding 18 goals. Senior Shea Campbell (Centerport, N.Y.) saw action in goal during the final 10 minutes.

Franklin Pierce returns to action next Saturday when the Ravens travel to New York to face the Pace Setters at 1 p.m.
