Greensburg, PA- The Wheeling University Men's Lacrosse team (3-4), (2-2) took on the Seton Hill Griffins, who came into the contest ranked seventh in Division II. The Cardinals were coming off a big win against Walsh and were eager to shock the Griffins, but they could not keep up with Seton Hill's attack and fell 30-5.
Brenner Chase continued his dominant play. He led the offense with three goals and added two assists. Chase made his first appearance on the scoresheet at the 5:59 mark after he spotted an open Jack Rowe. Rowe made his shot count on the man-up advantage after the Griffins opened play with seven unanswered goals. Chase netted his first goal of the game with a touch over two minutes left in the first quarter. He struck again at 10:51 in the second quarter and then completed the hattrick about five minutes later. Chase's three goals in the contest marked his 11th goal in only three games and his second consecutive game finishing with five points.
Jack Rowe found the back of the net one more time after opening the scoring up for the Cardinals. With 7:51 left to play in the fourth quarter, Wheeling was on the man-up advantage once more. Similarly to his first tally, Chase passed the ball to Rowe and he breezed the ball passed the goalie for his second of the day. This is Rowe's fourth multi-goal game of the season and this outing against the Griffins was his most efficient outing as both of his shots were found between the posts.
