LANCASTER, Pa. -- Fourteenth-ranked Franklin & Marshall scored the first five goals of the game to outpace 15th-ranked Washington and Lee, 5-3, in non-conference men's lacrosse action on Saturday afternoon.

Trailing 5-0 with 4:09 remaining in the third quarter, the Generals (2-3) began their comeback bid as junior attackman Gavin Molinelli (Northport, N.Y./Northport) scored an extra-man goal off an assist by junior attackman Jack Murray (Earlysville, Va./Albemarle).

Battling through a series of injuries, W&L was unable to find the net again until 2:03 left in the game when Molinelli assisted on an extra-man goal by senior midfielder Dustin Martin (Manlius, N.Y./Fayetteville-Manlius). The combination proved fruitful a second time as Martin scored off an assist by Molinelli at 1:53 for the Generals' third extra-man goal of the contest.

The comeback bid fell short, however, as the visitors were unable to beat the F&M goalie again before time expired.
Senior Ansel Sanders (White Stone, Va./Woodberry Forest) made 10 saves for W&L, while Mike Sartorius and Will McIntire combined for 15 saves in the Diplomats goal.

The Bullets scored again with 3:37 left before the break with an unassisted tally by Brian Pryor, but the Generals responded at 2:02 when senior Mike McNamara (Cockeysville, Md./Loyola) scored off an assist by freshman Matt Arcati (Lloyd Harbor, N.Y./Cold Spr. Hrbr.).

The Generals climbed back to within 5-4 on an unassisted tally by Martin with 13:12 remaining in the third period, but the Warriors vaulted back to a two-goal advantage on an extra-man goal by senior attackman Sean Malone (Calgary, Alberta/Sir Winston Churchill) with 6:02 remaining in the third period.

Again W&L came back, this time the Generals knotted the game at 6-6 with 12 seconds remaining in the third quarter on goals by junior attackman Jack Murray (Earlysville, Va./Albemarle) and Martin.
