WINCHESTER, Va.--The Hood College men's lacrosse team (0-11) set a program record for goals in a single game and put forth a valiant fourth quarter rally but came up just short in a narrow 11-10 loss to Shenandoah University (5-0) Wednesday evening.

The Hornets netted the first three goals of the game and never trailed but the Blazers wouldn't go away without a fight. Jesse Jones had a hand in Hood's two first half scores, assisting on Kris Miner's tally in the first quarter and then ripping one of his own to start the second quarter. The Blazers trailed 7-2 at the break.

But Hood owned the second half, rallying from a 9-2 deficit with four straight goals to pull to within 9-6 with 2:11 left in the third period.

In the fourth quarter, Dominique Shorter, Alex Tkacz and Sofiane Lazar all found the back of the net as the Blazers closed to within 10-9 with 8:24 left in regulation. Shenandoah's Ben Page notched an unassisted score with 6:47 to play to put the hosts up 11-9, but Miner registered his third goal of the day with 2:32 to go to make it a one-goal game again.

Will Oconis won the ensuing face-off and the Hornets were whistled for a :30 holding penalty, giving the Blazers a man-up opportunity. Oconis and Blake Rust both had looks at the net but neither was able to convert as Rodney Mattison came up a pair of clutch saves.

In the final minute, the Blazers were hit with an illegal body check foul, giving the Hornets the extra-man chance. Shenandoah turned it over with 11 seconds left, giving Hood one final chance to score the game-tying goal despite being a man down. But the Blazers were unable to get another shot off and the Hornets escaped with the victory.

Miner netted the first hat trick of his Blazer career while Jason Anderson and Lazar contributed two goals apiece. Sam Hofmann finished with nine stops for the Blazers.

Hood returns to action Saturday at Lynchburg College.
