Box Score ST.LOUIS, MO. (April 7,2015)—The Adams State University Grizzlies men's lacrosse team was on the road this evening at Lindenwood University to play a conference match up against the Lions.

Late into the first, Lindenwood would once again give themselves a two-point cushion over the Grizzlies with their third and last goal of the period at 4:24 to put them up 3-1 going into the second.

Seth Stowell would cut the Lions' lead to one goal to start the second period at 13:46, but the Lions would get that goal back and put them up by two at 12:15. Lindenwood would go on a five-goal run to go up 9-2 heading into half time.

A costly Grizzly penalty late in the second quarter would afford the Lions a man-up opportunity to start the third. The Lions capitalized on this, with a goal just thirteen seconds into the quarter to make the score 10-2. However, John Beedle would net the Grizzlies third goal of the game at 11:28  to cut ASU's deficit to seven goals.

With just eleven seconds left in the third, Tanner Jones netted his first, team fourth of the game to bring the score to 14-4 heading into the final stanza of the game.

Lindenwood would then net two more goals to start the final quarter to put them up 16-4, before Jake Betchel would find the net off an assist by Jones with 7:40 left. The Lions now had an eleven-goal cushion.Peterman would net his second of the game almost a minute later at 6:44 to cut the deficit to ten goals at 16-6. The Lions would get that one back with a goal at 5:18 to once again take an eleven point lead.

With just 3:21 left to go, Stowell (assist Peterman) would net his second of the game to put the score at 17-7, which is what the final score would be.

"For much of the game, I really liked our compete level.  However some timely penalties, timely turnovers really cost us and the teams we play on our schedule will make you pay every time.  Whether gaining some momentum of our own or having a chance to halt their scoring runs, we just can't afford those miscues.  There were certainly some positives to take out of the game, but unfortunately some negative aspects we've got to clean up as well.  Credit to Lindenwood, they're a very well coached and balanced team.  If we can continue to compete as we did for a good portion of this game on a more consistent basis, I think we give ourselves an opportunity to get the result we want." said Head Coach Jason Levesque on the outcome of the game.

The Grizzlies were lead by Peterman and Stowell who each had two goals in the game, and Betchel and Jones who each tallied one.

Adams State will be on the field next on Thursday April 9^th at Rockhurst University. That game is slated to start at 1:00 pm (Central) Live stats will be available on the Grizzly website.
