Kruse pots six points as Redmen trample Toronto

Published: 20 September 2009

TORONTO - Three players netted hat-tricks and Alex Kruse of Oakville, Ont., scored a goal and added five helpers as visiting McGill trampled Toronto 17-3 in men's varsity lacrosse action, Sunday.

The result, combined with Saturday's 13-10 overtime loss at Trent University in Peterborough, Ont., left the Redmen with a 2-1 record and a three-way share of second place with Trent and Carleton in the CUFLA East. Bishop's leads the division with a 3-1 record after upsetting Trent 9-6 on Sunday.

Against Toronto, the Redmen established a school record with 12 consecutive goals before the Varsity Blues could reply. McGill led 6-0 after the opening quarter, 11-0 at halftime and 14-1 after three quarters. It was a rough affair that featured 17 penalties, including 10 to McGill.

Luke LaCava of Weston, Conn., Mike Ting of Sudbury, Mass., and Montrealer Jason Martin scored three times apiece for the winning side. Teammate Ryan Besse of Aurora, Ont., added a pair with singles going to Sean Simeson of Oshawa, Alex Kost of Pelham, N.Y., and Matt Jankowski of Brewster, N.Y., plus Jishan Sharples and Jake Safarik, both natives of Vancouver, B.C.

Freshman Simon Hudson, a 5-foot-11, 185-pound goalkeeper from Seattle, Wash., started in goal for the Redmen and allowed only three goals to earn his first victory in CUFLA action. He was assessed a minor penalty, however, and had to be replaced for one minute by veteran Guy Fox of Glen Rock, N.J.

The Redmen now have a return engagement against the winless Varsity Blues (0-2) on Sept. 26 at 2 p.m. on Forbes Field, just north of Molson Stadium. That contest will be followed by the team's annual alumni Homecoming game at 4:30 p.m.
