SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Senior midfielder Justin McCarthy (Ardmore, PA) scored three goals and added two assists Saturday as Washington College defeated Nazareth College 11-8 in a Division III men’s lacrosse game played at the Carrier Dome. The game was moved to the Dome due to heavy snowfall in Rochester.

Washington, tied for first in the Division III rankings with Salisbury State, remained unbeaten at 3-0. Nazareth, ranked third, is 0-1. The game was a rematch of the last three NCAA Division III championship games. Nazareth defeated Washington in overtime to win both the 1996 and 1997 titles, while Washington captured the 1998 championship.

McCarthy assisted John Fuller on the game’s first goal to give the Shoremen a 1-0 advantage, but Nazareth rallied to take a 2-1 lead on a pair of unassisted scores by sophomore attackman Eric Goodberlet (Henrietta, NY). Washington responded with four straight goals (McCarthy, Fuller, J.D. Radebaugh, and Brian Rentch) to take the lead for good, 5-2. McCarthy added his second goal in the second quarter and Matt Swift also scored for the Shoremen, who led 7-5 at halftime.

Nazareth twice pulled within one goal in the third quarter. First freshman midfielder P.J. Rosecrans (Schenectady, NY) scored to make it 7-6. Then after Kevin Dorst (Garden City, NY) scored for Washington, Chris Nadelen (Henrietta, NY) scored for Nazareth to make it 8-7. Washington goals by Chris Bieberbach (Unionville, PA) and McCarthy boosted the Washington lead to 10-7 heading into the fourth quarter. John Nevin (Elbridge, NY) added an extra-man goal for Nazareth in the fourth quarter, but McCarthy assisted freshman Jon Fellows on the game’s final goal with nearly 11 minutes to play and the Shoremen were able to run out the clock.

Freshman goalie Ray Pagano (Syracuse, NY) made 11 saves for Washington. Junior Jake Coon (Homer, NY) had 20 saves for the Golden Flyers.
