For the third time this spring, The College of Wooster men's lacrosse team held an opponent to three or fewer goals, and this time it was DePauw University kept in check by the Fighting Scots during Saturday's 13-3 senior day win at John P. Papp Stadium.

Wooster (8-3, 2-0 North Coast Athletic Conference) did not allow a goal over the final 42:53, despite DePauw (4-5, 0-2 NCAC) finding a few more opportunities on the offensive end. Seventeen of DePauw's 25 shots came after the Tigers' Jack Neff pulled the guests within 4-3 early in the second stanza.

Senior Lane Kellogg was heavily involved in Wooster's answer, as the Scots pulled ahead by five come halftime. He scored two of the four goals over the final 11:43 of the stanza and assisted on a third. First-year Owen Thompson scored the non-Kellogg-involved goal in the second.

Wooster jumped out early, scoring three times in the opening 7:12 of Saturday's conference clash. Sophomore Jack Holub pumped in his 45th goal of the season for Wooster's first score of the day. With that goal, he moved into a tie for the seventh-most in single-season program history. Of note, Holub's milestone goal gives Wooster two players with at least 45 goals in a season during their career for the first time since the early 1990s.

Elsewhere, Wooster had its best faceoff percentage of the year, winning 18-of-20, all of which came from first-year Max Phillips. He scooped up the groundball on five of the 18 wins. Classmate Alec Siegel aided the cause from the wing, scooping up five groundballs, a couple of which led to quick scoring opportunities in transition for the Scots.  

Defensively, sophomore Domenic Cuda heated up late, ending the day with 11 groundballs and four caused turnovers. Cuda's first quarter caused turnover in transition against DePauw's Russ Nelson marked his 100th, and he is the fourth in program history to reach the century mark.

Seven different Scots scored on the day. Holub's four goals topped the tape. Senior Luke Budd, junior Sam Green, and Kellogg each had two. First-year Samuel Briggs, senior Luke Peter, and Thompson rounded out the scoring column. Kellogg dished out four assists to close within six of becoming the program's all-time leader. He became the first Scot since 1991 to hit 45 assists in a season with his helper on Budd's score in the final minute of the third quarter.

Senior Sutton Ursillo was credited with three of Wooster's 10 non-Cuda caused turnovers and junior Jesse Fisher factored into keeping the offense in attack mode with three groundballs. Sophomore Case Lowery stopped nine DePauw shots in a little over three quarters of action.

Neff scored two of DePauw's three goals. The Tigers held their own against the Scots' up-tempo transition style, as Jack Blum and Nelson each caused four turnovers and Anthony Reinhardt made 16 saves.

Wooster nearly doubled up DePauw on shots 48-25, and with an 18-2 faceoff advantage, the Scots ran away with groundballs 51-24. Wooster went 17-of-22 on clears, while DePauw checked in 19-of-33.

Wooster is idle until its April 8 home game against No. 20 Ohio Wesleyan University (3-5, 1-1 NCAC). Opening faceoff is set for 7 p.m.
