played lacrosse for 15 or 20 years and have a wide reputation our team as a whole played a very good game the defense was strong and every point the opponents made was well earned lehigh had numerous chances at goal but the crescent's goal tender was very good and only one got past him this being scored by rowan in the second half our men were very pleasantly entertained at the club saturday
