A 10-goal second quarter allowed Siena Heights to overcome an early deficit against No. 7 Raven Men's Lacrosse on Wednesday and earn a 15-8 upset.
Up 4-1 after the first quarter, the Ravens gave up 10 unanswered goals from the Saints to trail at the half, 11-6,
Benedictine came out of the locker room after the break and could never seize back their early momentum as they dropped their third game of the season.
Joseph Doyle led the Ravens with 3 goals while Brady Guck added 2. Michael Hogan and Jordan Rodriguez accounted for the remaining two goals.
Siena Heights was able to take over the game's momentum in the second quarter by winning 7 of 12 faceoffs while taking advantage of 9 second-quarter turnovers by Benedictine. Benedictine recorded 13 unforced turnovers which allowed Siena Heights extra possessions offensively.
Defensively, the Ravens recorded 12 caused turnovers. James Carson led the way with 3, followed by Ben Schwartz, Drew Doran, and Connor Buckley with 2 each. Duncan Loud suffered the loss in goal. He finished the game with 15 saves, just short of his career-high of 18.
Benedictine returns to KCAC play on Friday, weather permitting, to host Midland University at 3 p.m. back on Legacy Field.
