Iona MLAX Concludes Inaugural Season at Mount St. Mary's

EMMITSBURG, MD - The Iona university men's lacrosse team faced Mount Saint Mary's in their final matchup of the 2025 season on Wednesday afternoon. A strong first half showing from Matthew Dyszkiewicz and Cullen Lawry held the Gaels close until a second half effort from the hosts put the game out of reach for the Maroon & Gold. The Mountaineers handed the Gaels a 14-6 loss, and Iona concluded its 2025 season with a record of 2-13 (1-7 MAAC). 

THE Rundown

Cullen Lawry opened the scoring in the Gaels first possession, rifling a shot to the bottom right corner of the Mount's net. The Iona defense held firm for nearly nine minutes, but the Mountaineers found their first tally on a man-up situation. Matthew Dyszkiewicz quickly responded with a solo goal before another response from the hosts fell, taking the two sides out of the first stanza locked at a score of 2-2. 

Into the second period, The Mount grabbed three straight goals, before Dyszkiewicz and Lawry each grabbed their respective second goals of the game, bringing the score to 4-5 into the halftime break.
 
Cullen Lawry completed his hat trick and tied the game in the opening minutes of the second half, scooping up a ground ball in front of the crease and slotting it home. Despite the strong offensive opening from Dyszkiewicz and Lawry, the Mountaineers responded by scoring nine unanswered to put the game out of reach. A last minute goal from Lawry meant that the Gaels dropped their final contest of the 2025 season by a score of 14-6.
