McNamara offensive focal point in first two games

Junior midfielder Ryan McNamara’s shots have found the back of the net at a high rate through the first two games of the season. His four goals in the season opener, which tied a career high, and two against Richmond this weekend give him the men’s lacrosse team lead.

“He’s one of the straws that stirs our drink offensively,” head coach Joe Amplo said. “I’m really proud of the way he’s playing. I think he’s playing really mature.”

It’s a change of pace for the Golden Eagles, whose lefty attackman has led the team in scoring all three seasons (Tyler Melnyk in 2013 and 2014, Jordan Greenfield in 2015).
