VIRGINIA BEACH, Va.- Will Johnson scored five goals and added an assist as Eastern University Men's Lacrosse topped Wesley College 12-8 in a rugged neutral site contest in Virginia Beach. Grant Ferguson scored three times and Chris Farrar added a goal and three assists as the Eagles broke open a close game with four goals in the third quarter.

 Patt Groschan stopped seven shots to earn his second win of the year for the Eagles (2-1). 

"Will was the man today," Head Coach Kevin Wallace stated, "when we needed a goal, it seemed like he got one. I felt our guys did a good job of keeping their composure as the game got a little crazy."

The Eagles took advantage of a pair of  three minute penalties and were able to maintain possession for much of the fourth quarter.

Kyle Lansey, Eric Waibel, and Andrew Travers also added goals for the Eagles. With Ferguson's three tallies, Eastern freshmen accounted for half the team's scoring on the afternoon.

The Eagles continue their road-heavy start of the schedule with a game at McDaniel College on Saturday. They will play their first home game of the year against Utica on March 13.
