No. 5 Tars Tripped Up at Saint Leo

SAINT LEO, Florida (April 17, 2024) – The No. 5 Rollins men's lacrosse team dropped a 12-9 decision at Saint Leo on Wednesday night. The Tars are now 11-3 overall, 5-2 in conference play, while the Lions improve to 9-5, 3-4 in SSC games.
 
Mikey Berkman led the Tars with three goals and two assists, while Grant Hansen added three goals and an assist. Jack Johnstone scored a goal, which gives him 149 career points, tying him with Greg Taicher (2016-19) for the program's all-time scoring record. Shahé Katchadurian (10-3) took the loss, making 12 saves on 24 shots faced.

  • After a Saint Leo goal, Sean Caracciolo and Hansen each scored in the closing minutes of the quarter to put Rollins up 3-1.
Second Quarter
