Immaculata, Pa. - (4/26/2025) - #4 Gwynedd Mercy University (6-10, 2-3) visited #1 Immaculata University (13-5, 5-0) for this afternoon's Atlantic East Conference (AEC) Men's Lacrosse Semifinal. There, the 100th career goal for senior midfielder
Ian Kish (Easton, Pa.) brought the Mighty Macs' 9-0 first-quarter run a close; 9-1 (1:20, 1QTR). A 6-1 second-quarter spread only pushed the contest further from the Griffins' grasp, before the heart of the Red and Gold showed in a 20-9 final. Kish (0:11, 3QTR/2:10, 4QTR) and crew; junior attack
Josh Devine (Pottstown, Pa.) (9:33 & 7:21, 3QTR/7:45, 4QTR), and junior attack
Gunnar Seaman (Worcester, Pa.) (10:45 & 8:39, 4QTR) each netted multiple goals Gwynedd Mercy University's 7-5 second-half rally. The effort owed much to a 20-save performance from senior goalkeeper
Jared Devine (Pottstown, Pa.) and a 8-of-14 (.571) second-half performance in the face-off circle; freshman specialist
Edson Robles (Dover, Del.) finished a team-best 11-of-16 (.688).
