MEDFORD – Senior co-captain Dan Kollar (Middle Island, NY) scored all of his team-high four goals in the second quarter to help the Tufts University Jumbos post a 14-8 victory over the Gordon College Fighting Scots in New England men’s lacrosse action on Wednesday afternoon. The game was the home opener for the Jumbos, who improved to 4-1 overall. Gordon dropped to 2-2.
With the score tied at 2-2 after one quarter of play, Kollar’s quartet in the second quarter led Tufts to a 7-3 lead at the half. He scored both the quarter’s first goal at 12:44 and its last with just five seconds remaining to send the Jumbos into halftime with momentum. The hosts then added three unanswered goals in the third quarter for a 10-3 lead entering the fourth. Junior Chris Taylor’s (Cambridge, MA) tally at 7:40 of the third was the eventual game-winner.
The Fighting Scots came alive a bit in the fourth quarter, closing the margin to 11-7 on the second of back-to-back goals by junior Matt Chapman (Framingham, MA) at 6:29. He scored all of his team-high four goals in the fourth.
