ARLINGTON, Va. – The Towson University men’s lacrosse team continued its fall schedule by participating in the Play for Parkinson’s Tournament on Saturday at Episcopal High School. The Tigers battled Air Force in their first match of the day and Virginia in the second contest.

The Tigers scored nine goals against Air Force and managed seven goals against Virginia.

Tiger head coach Shawn Nadelen was pleased with the performance of his team overall but realized there are still things they can work on prior to the start of the spring schedule.

“I thought Andrew Wascavage and Tyler White stepped up today in goal,” said Nadelen. “They faced a lot of shots but reacted well. I also thought Andrew Hodgson did a nice job of getting up and down the field for us today.”

The Tigers also got a chance to see some of the new rules for men’s lacrosse take affect today, with no horns on the subs, a shot clock following a stall warning and if a team records three violations on a faceoff, they now receive a penalty.”

“I thought today was a good test for us to see how it will affect the game and has the potential to speed things up,” said Nadelen. “The violations on the faceoffs are something we are going to need to work on going forward. Our guys need to learn to be patient and get the job done.”

“I thought today was also a good test for the officials,” said the Tiger head coach. “It will be interesting to see how they handle things especially with the shot clock following a stall warning moving forward.”
