Iona MLAX Falls at Navy

ANNAPOLIS, MD – The Iona University men's lacrosse team fell 17-7 at Navy in non-conference action at Memorial Stadium. Freshman Carson Turissini paced the offense with two goals and an assist, while five other players added tallies for the visitors.

Navy seized control with nine unanswered goals across the second and third quarters, then added another to open the fourth to put the game out of reach.
