MOUNT VERNON – Evan Begner and Kyle Jussila have both surpassed school records as Cornell men's lacrosse defeated Northland College at home, 10-2, moving to 3-0 in MLC play. 

Begner continued to be reliable in the net as he saved twelve shots today, setting the new school mark for saves in a season at 170. Jussila had his hand in 70% of the goals tonight as he dished out seven total assists, setting the new school mark for assists in a game and in a career. 

Only one goal was scored in the first half, leading to some tension towards the end of the second quarter that found five players receiving penalties after a short scuffle occurred. 

The Rams (6-7, 3-0 MLC) took advantage of three extra-man opportunities in the third quarter that sparked seven goals in a row to take a 7-1 lead. John Linderman scored three of those goals and went on to score five total in the game. 

Northland (5-5, 1-2 MLC) tried to make a push - but Cornell's defense wouldn't allow it. Demarius Pittman and Justin Howe combined for 14 ground balls, while Pittman also added an assist. 

Luke Baldwin did his share on the offensive and defensive side, scoring two goals and grabbing three ground balls.

Begner played the full 60 minutes this afternoon, moving to 6-5 on the season after this win. 

The Rams will continue MLC player next Saturday, April 16 as they will host Lake Forest at Van Metre Field at Ash Park at 4 p.m.
