EMMITSBURG, Md. — The LIU men's lacrosse team used a seven-goal second quarter to storm back and take a lead. However, host Mount St. Mary's ultimately defeated the Sharks, 16-13, on Saturday afternoon.

LIU trailed 7-2 entering the second quarter, but consecutive goals from Mark Regan to open the period — and three goals overall by Regan in the quarter — helped the Sharks take a 9-8 lead into intermission.

LIU maintained a one-goal lead entering the fourth quarter, but Mount St. Mary's eventually pulled ahead 14-12.

Regan's team-high fifth goal of the game, which came with 1:55 remaining, pulled LIU within a goal. However, Mount St. Mary's closed the game with a pair of goals while down a man.

Brad Beck contributed a hat trick in the defeat.

LIU dropped to 1-1 in MAAC play.

The Sharks next host Siena next Saturday at 2 p.m. at Bethpage Federal Credit Union Stadium.
