Florida Tech Men’s lacrosse played under the lights Saturday at Florida Tech Panthers Stadium and the spotlight was bright, as they scored a 19-8 victory over the Florida Southern Moccasins.

Logan Sweeney and Nick Wynne had five goals each, while Carson Clough tallied two goals and had four assists, leading the Panther rout. Florida Tech goalie Daniel Flock, who was named the national Defensive Player of the Week this week, made 15 saves.

Sweeney got the scoring started 2:17 into the game and Wynne scored back-to-back goals six-plus minutes apart to make it 3-0. Adam Utter got the Mocs’ on the board with 2:58 left in the first period and Flock gave up a late one to Liam Winwood, with just seven seconds to go, closing the gap to 3-2.

Clough’s first goal of the night made it a 4-2 game, 1:21 into the second quarter. Winwood answered just over a minute later, but Wynne completed his hat trick with 11:46 to go in the half and Cody Martin tallied 26 seconds later, putting the home team up, 6-3.

Goals by Brett Pohlmeyer and Sweeney, made it 8-5 with 2:30 remaining in the half and that was the score as the teams headed into the locker room.

It didn’t take long for Sweeney to get his hat trick, as he scored 1:11 into the third. He scored again a couple minutes later, doubling the Panthers lead to 10-5. After Clough scored with 2:42 to go in the third, Sweeney was back at it again, putting an exclamation point on the quarter with 17 seconds left.

With a 12-6 lead heading into the fourth, the Panthers showed no mercy, putting seven on the board against Florida Southern goalie Matt Lalli. Reid Chaconas and Ryan Land were among the Florida Tech goal scorers. Land scored with 10:24 to go in the game, his first goal of the season. Matt Weinstein, Austen Zugelter, Pohlmeyer and Wynne scored in the period, as well.

FIT Men Push Win Streak to Five

Patrick Anderson - Photo credit: James Ragan Photography The Florida Tech Men’s Basketball team beat Nova Southeastern Saturday, 98-90 and in the process won their fifth straight game and have now won seven out of eight, after two straight losses to start the season. The first half was a back-and-forth affair with Jordan Majors and Patrick Anderson dropping in 12 points apiece. Majors was 4-of-5 from three-point range and Anderson was 2-of-5, leading the Panthers to an 11-of-18 first half, from beyond the arc. “The difference in the game was clearly in two areas,” said Panthers head coach Billy Mims in his postgame interview with Jim Mitchell. “We made 14 threes’ in the game and we’re shooting the ball as well as anybody in the conference,” he said. “We shot 41 percent behind the arc and when you shoot like that, it’s hard to lose games. The other thing that stood out was how well we passed the basketball, talk about a team effort, we had 26 assists and only 13 tur...

Gracie Doane - Photo credit: James Ragan Photography The Florida Tech women’s basketball team were doomed by a poor third quarter Friday night that saw the Lynn Fighting Knights outscore the Panthers 22-11, en route to a 71-61 Sunshine State Conference victory. The loss was the fourth in a row for Florida Tech. The Panthers troubles started early when leading scorer Shequana Harris was called for a foul two seconds into the contest. She picked up a second foul early and her third, just as the third quarter got underway. When all was said, and done, Harris played three minutes and scored two points. Florida Tech (6-6, 2-4 SSC) held their own early without her, leading 13-12 with 1:23 left in the first quarter, thanks to a layup by Gudlau Juliusdottir before Lynn overtook them, scoring five straight points and leading 17-13 at the end of the first quarter. Lynn (7-4, 2-3 SSC) extended their lead to 23-15 early in the second quarter and were up 27-19 before Gracie D...

Florida Tech Falls Late Against Adelphi

Image
The Florida Tech Panthers lacrosse team put up a great effort against the ninth ranked Adelphi Panthers on Thursday, losing 10-8 in a tightly contested game. Florida Tech goaltender Daniel Flock stood tall, against a highly skilled Adelphi squad, coming up with nine saves. The Panthers of Florida Tech scored six unanswered goals at one point, turning a 5-2 deficit into an 8-5 lead, but Adelphi scored five straight from about the halfway point of the fourth, to the end of the game and escaped with a victory. Florida Tech (1-1) did a lot of things right on Thursday statistically, winning in shots 37-29 and ground balls 37-31. They were 2-for-5 on the man-up, while AU was 1-for-3 and FIT was successful on 19 of their 20 clear attempts. Unfortunately, they did not win on the scoreboard and that’s the only number that counts. Adelphi (1-0) was led by Nick Racalbuto, who had four goals and Michael Osmundsen who had three, to go along with one assist. The other Racalbuto in ...
