IMMACULATA, Pa. – The Immaculata University men's lacrosse team opened the 2008 season falling to King's College, 14-6, on Wednesday at Draper Walsh Stadium.

Freshman Brendan Dinneen made his collegiate debut scoring two goals and added an assist for the Mighty Macs (0-1), while junior Geoff Lorentz also chipped in two goals. Sophomore Tom Hartney and junior Alan Lorentz each collected a goal in the effort.

After the Monarchs scored the first three goals of the game, as Kris Skewes found the back of the net twice, Immaculata rattled off three straight goals of its own. Geoff Lorentz's goal with 8:47 remaining in the second quarter knotted the score at 3-all and it would remain that way at the break.

Immaculata stayed in the game early by winning 5 of 8 faceoffs during the first half, but were just 7-for-16 in the second half. Sophomore Stone Gahagan was 7-for-13 in the circle for the Mighty Macs.

King's scored four goals during the first 5:23 of the second half to pull ahead 7-3, and Immaculata wouldn't be in striking distance the rest of the way.

Curtis Reinard, John Doran and Ryan Lachner each registered hat tricks for the Monarchs. Reinard added three assists and Doran dished out two assists. Tim Cassi played all 60 minutes in goal allowing six Immaculata goals and making 12 saves.

Sophomore Andrew Sim made 20 saves in the cage in 60 minutes of action. Sim also collected two ground balls.

Immaculata begins a four-game road stretch on Saturday at Elizabethtown College. Game time is 1 p.m.
