WATERVILLE, ME- Wheaton College received goals from three players but fell, 9-4 at Colby College in non-conference men's lacrosse action Sunday at Bill Alfond Field. The Lyons are now 1-3, while the Mules improved to 1-1 in their home opener.

The Lyons were narrowly outshot, 24-23, while sophomore Jeremy Beech (West Newbury, MA/Governor Dummer Academy) made 13 saves. Junior Andrew Rohan (South Hadley, MA/Avon Old Farms) paced the Blue and White with a pair of goals, while senior Adam Cohen (Montpelier, VT/Montpelier) and junior Trey Helms (Cockeysville, MD/Saint Paul's School) turned in a goal and an assist apiece.

A trio of Mules netted two goals each, while sophomore Luis Mendoza (Washington, DC/Brooks School) and freshman Caddy Brooks (Darien, CT/Salisbury School) recorded three points each. Senior Jeff Miller (Marshfield, MA/Phillips Exeter Academy) stopped 10 shots in net.
