This lacrosse thing is starting to catch on here.
In its first year of existence, Grand Canyon's lacrosse team is steadily improving. Or as coach Adam Marshall likes to refer to it, "developing." Either way, the Antelopes gave Texas Tech University a battle in front of 320 fans Monday night in the final home game of the season. But in the end, the Red Raiders left with a 26-13 win.
"We get better every game because people are starting to learn more and more," GCU freshman attacker Billy Lloyd said after scoring on all five shots he attempted. "But one thing we really need to learn to do is play through the full four quarters."
Grand Canyon (0-7) drew within 13-9 when Patrick Murphy (pictured) scored one of his four goals at the 9:16 mark in the third quarter. Texas Tech (3-4) increased its lead to 16-10 on one of Reid Fontenot's six goals six minutes later in the quarter. But the Red Raiders put the game away in the fourth quarter, scoring 10 goals that broke the Antelopes' backs.
