WILKES-BARRE, PA (April 17, 2019) -- Visiting DeSales University scored the first seven goals Wednesday evening, using that lead to knock off the King's College men's lacrosse team 19-4 in Middle Atlantic Conference Freedom (MAC Freedom) play from McCarthy Stadium. 

Sophomore Gabe Vansuch scored three goals to pace the Monarchs (3-10, 1-4 MAC Freedom), including a man-up goal in the second quarter to get the Monarchs on the board. Alec Martin followed with a man-up goal of his own at 9;21 of the game to make it 7-2, but DSU (14-0, 5-0 MAC Freedom) followed with the next five goals to make it 12-2 at the break. 

The Bulldogs would continue to roll offensively, netting the next five goals to pull away for the win. DeSales finished the night as the lone undefeated team in Division III, as York upset No. 1 Salisbury University Wednesday evening.
