DANVILLE, Va. — In its final home game of the regular season, the Averett University men's lacrosse team fell to Brevard College, 18-5, on Senior Day on Daly Field at Frank R. Campbell Stadium.

Sophomore Joonas Mattila, who was honored for Senior Day because he graduates early in December, scored the first goal of the day for Averett off the assist from sophomore Rafael Walker. Freshman Mason Foy then scored the next two goals of the game, with freshman Ballard Earley assisting on one of them, to give Averett a 3-1 lead. This gave Foy 16 goals on the season, breaking the program's single-season scoring record previously set by Keshawn Downing, who had 15 in the team's inaugural season.

However, Brevard (6-6, 3-3 USA South) then bounced back with 15 unanswered goals to effectively put the game out of reach. Freshman Mike Michaud ended the scoring drought for the Cougars late in the fourth quarter, while freshman Ashton Neymour scored his first collegiate goal with 22 seconds left on the clock.

Defensively, freshman Sam Garrett led the team with eight ground balls and three caused turnovers after coming into the game ranked in the top five in the conference in each of those categories. Sophomore Miska Granlund was next with five ground balls and one caused turnover, while Walker had four ground balls and three caused turnovers and Mattila logged four ground balls and two caused turnovers. In goal, sophomore Jacob Shriver made 15 saves, while freshman Bryce Stewart made five saves.

Averett hits the road for the final game of the regular season as it takes on Greensboro College on April 20 at 1 p.m.
