SWARTHMORE, Pa. – Freshman Cam Marsh scored five goals and senior Andrew Preiser tallied three in leading the Swarthmore College men's lacrosse team to an 18-5 victory over Drew in the pouring rain on Wednesday, March 4 at Clothier Field. The Garnet netted 11 unanswered between the first and third quarters and never looked back.
 
The teams were evenly matched in the first quarter as Marsh scored the first goal of the game at 10:29. Drew (0-1) responded with two straight goals, but Swarthmore recovered and led 4-3 at the end of the quarter by getting a marker from Preiser with just four seconds left.
 
The Garnet dominated the second quarter, scoring four more goals and shutting out the Rangers. DeWan led the offense by finding the back of the net twice in the frame to help the hosts build an 8-3 advantage at the break.
