COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Capital University men's lacrosse team fell by a final score of 18-9 at home to the College of Wooster on Wednesday night. 

The Comets (1-4) found themselves in an early three goal deficit that they struggled to recover from, despite ending the first quarter with two goals from Mason Spaulding and Jake Belt. 

A five-goal run by the Scots (4-1) to start the second quarter all but sealed the result for the Comets as that made the score 8-2 in favor of the visitors. 

The Comets made a game out of it midway through the third quarter as the team got three quickfire goals from Anthony Carusone and Spaulding (2). Unfortunately, that steam would run out as Wooster closed the game on a 5-2 run to win 18-9. 

THE NUMBERS
Mason Spaulding was once again the leading scorer for Cap, finishing with five goals to go with a pair of ground balls. 

Other goals came from Jake Belt, Aiden Manning, Jacob Poole, and Anthony Carusone.  

Charlie Howenstine led Cap with three assists. He was joined in the dime department by Carusone, Max Schillig, Nathan Montgomery and Ty Chase.
