#2 Colorado State Downs Mines 25-3

On an unseasonably warm afternoon in Fort Collins, CO, the #2 ranked
Colorado State men’s lacrosse team kicked off the season in style with a
25-3 thumping of the Colorado School of Mines. The Rams’ regulars were
pulled after a quarter, but not before peppering the Mines net and staking
claim to a 9-0 lead after one. From then on, the Rams emptied the bench and
cruised, not allowing a goal until 7:53 into the third.

Leading the charge for the Rams (1-0) offensively were Ryan Davis (5 goals,
1 assist) and Mike Napolilli (3g, 2a). Thanks to freshman Dave Clark’s
face-off dominance (21 attempts, 15 wins), CSU was able to control the ball
for much of the game and never let Mines into the game. Several players who
will redshirt this season also scored in the complete team effort, including
Jeff Sutherland (3g, 1a).

Next up for CSU is a non-league game with #12 Colorado in Boulder on Wednesday.
