@ #1 Cabrini 6, #3 Wesley 3
Sophomore Antonio Masone stopped 14 of the 17 shots he faced, and senior Tom Lemieux had one goal and three assists, as Cabrini College defeated Wesley College, 6-3, to win its second straight men's lacrosse PAC Championship. With the win, the Cavaliers earn the Conference's first-ever bid to the NCAA Division III Tournament.
Masone was named the game¹s Most Valuable Player for his performance. He stopped seven of the Wolverines eight shots in the second half. Wesley goaltender John Reed made 17 saves in the losing effort.
With the game tied at 2-2 late in the first half, Cabrini freshman Rory Friel converted a feed from Lemieux to give the Cavaliers a one-goal advantage at the half.
After being held scoreless on their five man-advantages in the first half, Cabrini converted both of its opportunities in the third quarter to extend its lead to 5-2. Friel and Lemieux hooked up again with 6:32 to play in the quarter, and sophomore Mike Piccoli scored off a pass from Lemieux 27 seconds later.
The Wolverines crept back within two with 8:37 to play in the contest, as sophomore Mark Skakle scored his second goal of the contest. However, Masone made a few key saves down the stretch, and Cabrini junior Mike Pape set the final score with an unassisted goal with 1:12 remaining in the game.

#3 Wesley 17, @ #2 Villa Julie 4
Derrick Quillen scored a game-high seven goals and added two assists as the Wolverines (7-6, 5-2) routed the Mustangs, 17-4, in a Pennsylvania Athletic Conference semi-final game. Josh Wyatt added four goals and two assists.
The Wesley defense was rock-solid, holding Villa Julie (5-8, 5-2) scoreless until Ed Wienecke put VJ on the board with 4:07 remaining in the half. Wienecke led the Mustangs with two goals. Dan Velez added a goal with 35 seconds remaining in the half and Wesley led, 8-2.
The Wolverines then went on a 5-0 run in the third period to extend their lead to 13-2. Wesley's defense limited Villa Julie to only one goal in 13 extra-man opportunities, and also scored three times in man-down situations. VJ actually had more shots (38-35) and groundballs (50-39) than WC, but Wesley's overall defense simply shut down the Mustang offense, avenging a 10-7 Villa win at Wesley back in March.
