WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Brady Manion and Josh Keitz scored four points apiece and Clo Muscara became the program's all-time leading scorer, but Catholic rallied for an 11-9 win over the Arcadia men's lacrosse team on Saturday afternoon.
 
With two points on the day (1g/1a), Muscara reached 101 career points and eclipsed Chris Jacovino's previous record of 100 career points. Muscara, who has 19 points (12g/7a) through three games this year, is now the program's all-time leader in points and goals (76).
 
The loss drops Arcadia to 2-1 on the season and Catholic improves to 2-2. The Knights were looking to start a season 3-0 for the first time in program history.
 
A 4-1 run to close the first quarter and open the second turned what had been a 2-1 deficit into a 5-2 lead for the Scarlet & Grey. Keitz's second goal in the early going tied the game at 2-2 with just over five minutes left in the first. Manion scored with just over a minute to play for a 3-2 lead, and Sean Connolly and Manion recorded the first two goals of the second quarter to stake AU to a 5-2 lead with 8:22 on the clock.
 
Patrick Silverman scored a man-up goal for the Cardinals with 31 seconds left in the first half and Arcadia took a 5-3 lead into the break.
 
Catholic scored the first two goals of the third quarter to knot things up at 5-5 with 11:22 left. Manion answered off a feed from Muscara to push AU back in front 6-5 at the 9:46 mark. Still clinging to a one-goal lead (7-6), the Knights saw Catholic score back-to-back goals in the final 1:58 of the third to take an 8-7 lead into the final period.
 
Muscara needed just 42 seconds to tie things at 8-8 in the fourth, and after CUA quickly regained the lead, Keitz struck again to tie the game once more at 9-9 with 12:37 to play. A long drought for both teams was ended with 4:02 left when Vince Catenacci scored for Catholic to push the Cardinals in front 10-9, and Joey Rockovich iced the game with an unassisted tally with 30 seconds to play.
 
Shots were relatively even at 39-34 in favor of Catholic, and the Knights led in ground balls (25-18) and faceoffs won (16-7), but CUA was 2 for 5 man up, while Arcadia failed to score in three extra-man opportunities.
 
Tanner Pajakinas added two assists for the Knights, and Philip Hane won 16 of 23 faceoffs and collected six ground balls. Ryan Mahon added four ground balls. Grant Palmer played all 60 minutes in the cage, making 17 saves on the day.
 
Catenacci (3g) and Mark Tocchio (2g/1a) each had three points for the Cardinals. Ben Karthaus had two caused turnovers and three ground balls. In goal, Alex Mulyk played the entire game and made nine saves.
 
The Knights are back in action on Tuesday when they play host to DeSales at 4 p.m.
