GREENCASTLE, Ind. (April 19, 2023) – The Denison University men's lacrosse team shutout the Tigers for the first three quarters and defeated DePauw University 17-3 on the road on Wednesday night to remain as one of three teams sitting atop the North Coast Athletic Conference standings with just one conference loss.

Denison (10-3 overall, 4-1 NCAC) was methodical in the first half, scoring four goals in each of the first two quarters by seven different players and outshooting DePauw (6-7, 1-4) 39-5, including 21-0 in the first quarter, and holding them to without a groundball in the opening 15 minutes.

Luke Fisher had the assist on three of Denison's first six goals, including on goals by Quinn O'Donnell and Clyde Bresnahan both in the first minute and a half of the second quarter.

Tommy Quinson scored three goals in the first three minutes of the third quarter with Fisher recorded his fourth and fifth assists on the final two of those goals before scoring himself on the assist by Lawton Corrigan to make it 12-0 early in the third quarter.

Quinson scored his fourth goal of the third quarter to make it 14-0 with four minutes left in the period, and then sophomore Will Bennett scored his first-career goal to make it 15-0 in the first minute and a half of the fourth quarter before the Tigers finally scored to avoid the shutout.

Freshman Macky Peck scored his first-career goal to make it 16-3 in the final four minutes of the game, and then Bennett scored again to round out the scoring less than a minute later.

Quinson ultimately finished with five goals and added three caused turnovers while Fisher finished with six points (1 goal, 5 assists) and Ethan Tyack had four points (2 goals, 2 assists).
