CHESTERTOWN, MD - The No. 11 Swarthmore College men's lacrosse team remained unbeaten in the Centennial Conference with an 18-7 victory over Washington College. The Garnet recorded their largest margin of victory over the Shoremen in program history.

The Garnet celebrated National Siblings Day in style with the Mabbs and Strauch brothers combining for 10 goals and five assists. Carter Strauch and Von Mabbs led the way with three goals and two assists. Rex Mabbs also added a trio of goals with one assist, while Alex Strauch found the back of the net for the first time this season.

Swarthmore continued its success on faceoffs with Jack McHenry and Matthew Martinez combining for 19-10 on the night. McHenry also led the charge with six ground balls.

Drew Tyson was excellent again with 12 saves and six goals allowed in 54-minutes of action. The sophomore improved his record to 7-1 on the season.
