BALTIMORE, MD. - Bucknell ran off the last five goals of the game Saturday morning to defeat North Carolina 9-4 in men's lacrosse in a game played at Curley Field on the Loyola College campus. The game was the season opener for the Bison while the Tar Heels fall to 1-1 on the season.

Bucknell led 4-2 at the half but back to back goals by Steven Will and Tim Gosier scored goals for the Tar Heels in the first seven minutes of the third quarter to tie the game at 4-4. But Bucknell's defense shut out the Tar Heels the rest of the way and a goal by Andrew Sanders for the Bison with 7:21 to play in the third quarter put Bucknell up for good. The Bison would go on to add four more insurance goals.

Sanders led Bucknell with three goals and one assist, while Dennis Geraghty tallied twice for the Bison. Tim Gosier had a pair of goals for the Tar Heels.

UNC will return to the state of Maryland next Saturday for the Tar Heels' next game. Carolina will play at Navy next Saturday at 12 noon.
