GREENVILLE, S.C. – Michael Lawrence scored two goals and assisted on one as the Hampton Pirates fell 19-4 at Furman in a men's lacrosse matchup on a snowy Saturday.

The Paladins scored the first six goals of the game before Lawrence tallied his assist connecting with Miles Fawcett for a goal at the 13:27 mark to trail 6-1.  Furman scored the final three goals of the half to lead 9-1 at intermission.

That lead stretched to 18-1 after the third, before Lawrence put in his first goal with 8:58 left to trail 18-2.  Pierce Johnson took a feed from Derian Williams-Sturdivant to give Hampton another tally with 6:42 left for an 18-3 deficit. 

After giving up a goal 65 seconds later, Lawrence scored the final goal of the game at the 4:04 mark taking advantage of a man-up situation for the Pirates for the eventual 19-4 final.

Hampton won 16 of 27 faceoffs as Ian Groom had nine ground balls to lead Hampton, while Tyler Dey added three.
