MOUNT VERNON – Cornell men's lacrosse had to deal with a less than ideal power outage delay while on the road for a game with Augustana College late last night, the Vikings ended up emerging victorious, 17-4. 

The Rams (3-7) were working to shrink the deficit throughout the second quarter, but those efforts were derailed after the lights of Thorson-Lucken Field went out with five minutes remaining in the half. 

The Vikings (6-2) relentless offensive attack led to a win for the home team, but Cornell's efficiency led to a score on 57% of their shots on goal. 

After the delay that lasted over 60 minutes, it only took Ethan Kupka two minutes to get on the board, giving Cornell the final score of the half.

Demarius Pittman has been finishing more scoring opportunities as of late, connecting on a season high two goals tonight. One goal was assisted by John Linderman, the other by Kyle Jussila. Linderman finished with two assists, while Jussila had one goal and an assist.

Thomas Cook was the goalkeeper for the Rams throughout the long night, saving a season high 13 shots on goal. 

Coming up- The Rams travel to St. Paul, Minn., Saturday to open up Midwest Lacrosse Conference play against Northwestern - St. Paul at 11 a.m.
