Bullets Beat Maroons to Advance in NCAA First Round

Connor Hume scores four times to lead Gettysburg

Carlisle, Pa. — Eighteenth-ranked Gettysburg College advanced to the NCAA Division III Men's Lacrosse second round for the first time since 2018 with a 14-8 victory over Roanoke College on Saturday. The Bullets will take on Centennial Conference rival No. 7 Dickinson College on Sunday in Carlisle. 

There was rarely time when the Bullets (14-8) were in jeopardy. Gettysburg rushed out to an early 3-0 advantage in the opening eight minute, and the Bullets padded their lead by outscoring the Maroons 6-1 over a course of the 15 minutes. 

Senior attack Connor Hume (Elkridge, Md./Loyola Blakefield) led the Bullets with four goals and two assists for game-high six points. 

Senior attack Spencer Knife (Venice, Calif./Winston Churchill) orchestrated the Bullets office with four assists to complement one goal scored for a five-point effort. 

It marks the Bullets' first NCAA tournament victory since their NCAA semifinal run in 2018. 

Both junior attack George Raymond (Darien, Conn./Suffield Academy) and senior midfielder Griffin Gallagher (Ardmore, Pa./Shipley School) garnered two goals and an assist. Sophomore attack Quinton Mather (Avon, Conn./Avon Old Farms) also scored twice. 

Senior midfielder Kieran Ward (Malvern, Pa./Malvern Prep) and junior attack Aidan Wykoff (Fairfield, Conn./Fairfield Ludlow) factored in with a goal and assist. 

At the faceoff-x, junior specialist Johathan Moshe (Port Jefferson Station, N.Y./Earl L. Vandermeulen) won 13 of 23 attempts (.565) with seven ground balls. 

Defensively, freshman defender Frank Barbera (Chatham, N.J./Chatham) collected five ground balls. Junior defender Declan Harrigan (Larchmont, N.Y./Mamaroneck) tallied three. The Bullets caused five turnovers. 

In goal, senior Scott Macmillan (Berwyn, Pa./Conestoga) made 12 stops. His counterpart Taylor Lewis stopped 13 shots. 

Gettysburg started with a 3-0 advantage in the first quarter. Knife had his lone goal of the game at 11:28 to put the first score on the board. Gallager sent a Raymond pass into goal at 8:08, and just over a minute later, Raymond did his part with a Knife assist at the 7:07 mark. 

Roanoke (13-7) did its best to swing the momentum in its favor. Luke Kammerman and George Gilbert sandwiched a Raymond goal to trim the Bullets' lead to 4-2 with 12:19 remaining in the first half. 

Wykoff kickstarted the Bullets' run over the next quarter's worth of play, finding the back at 10:56. Hume scored back-to-back goals within 25 seconds of each other to stretch their lead to five. After the Maroons found a goal, Hume closed out the first half on a Gallagher assist with an 8-3 lead. 

Mather opened the third quarter with two unanswered goals for Gettysburg's largest lead (10-3) of the contest. 

Back to back goals Roanoke goals from George Gilbert within 30 seconds of each other put the Maroons within four with 8:13 to play. sophomore attack Brady McGovern (Wilmington, Del./Salesianum School) shredded their chances with a Bullets goal, and the Bullets' defense kept the Maroons fruitless for the last eight minutes. 

The dominant scoreline overshadowed a 56-40 Roanoke advantage in shots. The Maroons committed three less (16-13) turnovers than the Bullets, and they had a 33-27 edge in ground balls. 

Kammerman had a Maroons-best four points. Gilbert tallied a hat trick. Aidan Sullivan and John Dias earned five ground balls.

Gettysburg looks to avenge a pair of losses at the hands of No. 7 Dickinson. The Bullets came up short 10-9 in overtime in the Centennial Conference championship last Saturday, and the Red Devils came out on top 15-9 in the regular season. 

Faceoff between the Red Devils and Bullets is set for 3 p.m. on Sunday.
