Robichaud’s Four Goals Lift Men's Lacrosse Past Misericordia in Conference Road Win

DALLAS, Pa. – The Arcadia University men's lacrosse team earned a key MAC Freedom road victory Wednesday evening, defeating Misericordia, 11-9. The Knights improved to 8-4 overall and 2-0 in conference play.

Reilly Robichaud led the offensive effort with four goals, while Tristan Johnson added three goals and two assists. Alex Greenberg, Gavin Lenart, Sean Perkinson, and Dylan Garber each found the back of the net for Arcadia.

The Knights controlled much of the game statistically, outshooting the Cougars 48-34, including a 26-17 advantage in shots on goal. Arcadia also held a 37-21 edge in ground balls and dominated the faceoff X, winning 18 of 23 attempts. Colin Brockman went 13-of-18 at the faceoff X and led all players with nine ground balls, while Darian Good finished 4-of-5. Lenart anchored the defense with two caused turnovers.

In goal, Nate Hudgins made eight saves for the Knights.

  • Misericordia responded with back-to-back goals to take a 7-6 advantage, but Johnson completed his hat trick to tie the game at 7-7 heading into the fourth quarter.
  • Sean Perkinson gave Arcadia an 8-7 lead early in the fourth, capitalizing on an assist from Dylan Garber after multiple shot attempts were turned away.
