Six goal second quarter sends Sewanee past Transylvania, 14-6

SEWANEE, Tenn. – Four goals from Manoli Loupassi powered Sewanee to a dominant 14-6 victory over Transylvania University on Saturday afternoon at Harris Stadium, as the Tigers used a six-goal second quarter to secure their home opener.

Loupassi finished with four goals on nine shots, including a score with one second remaining in the third quarter. Will Kennedy added three goals, two caused turnovers, and two ground balls, while Charles Moran tallied three points on two goals and an assist to go along with three ground balls. 

JM DuPree opened the scoring at the 10:53 mark of the first quarter after a failed clear by Transylvania. The Pioneers answered just over two minutes later, and the teams traded goals down the stretch of the period. Robert Freeman's unassisted strike with 2:26 remaining gave Sewanee a 2-1 lead, but Transylvania evened the contest at 2-2 before the end of the quarter.

After generating early pressure, Kennedy found the back of the net at 13:11 to give the Tigers the lead for good. Sage Cookerly followed with a man-down goal at 10:46, swinging momentum firmly in Sewanee's favor. Loupassi added another at 8:44, and Kennedy struck twice more,  once off an assist from Hudson Gregory and later on a man-up opportunity, to cap a personal three-goal quarter. Loupassi's second goal of the frame, assisted by Moran with 1:13 left, sent the Tigers into halftime with an 8-2 advantage.

Transylvania opened the third quarter scoring at 7:30, but Moran responded with an unassisted goal to push the lead back to six. The Pioneers scored three of the next four goals to cut the deficit to 10-6 with 16 seconds remaining in the period. Off the ensuing faceoff win by Asa Nischwitz, Gus Albright gathered the ground ball and scored just nine seconds after Transylvania's goal. Loupassi then delivered his fourth goal with one second on the clock to give Sewanee an 11-6 cushion entering the final quarter.

The Tigers shut the door defensively in the fourth, holding Transylvania scoreless while adding three more goals. Loupassi completed his four-goal day at 11:19, Harrison Fuller added a goal at 6:44, and Moran capped the scoring with 3:37 to play.

Sewanee outshot Transylvania 42-31 and held a 28-17 advantage in shots on goal. The Tigers also controlled the ground ball battle, 39-33, and went a perfect 23-for-23 on clears.

At the faceoff X, Nischwitz dominated, winning 11-of-17 draws while collecting a game-high 10 ground balls. Freeman added six ground balls and a goal, while Beau Burnette and Hudson Jones picked up three ground balls apiece. Defensively, Tyler Clary caused two turnovers, and the Tigers totaled 11 caused turnovers as a team.

In goal, Flynn Bowman earned the win, making 11 saves in 56:58 of action as Sewanee held Transylvania to 0-for-4 on extra-man opportunities.

With the win, Sewanee moves to 2-2 on the season, matching the Pioneers' 2-2 record.

Sewanee will host Piedmont on Wednesday, March 4, before heading to Jacksonville, Fla., for a spring break matchup against DeSales on Wednesday, March 11.
