WORCESTER, Mass. – Joey Kamish and Kevin Lindley each scored four goals Saturday as the Loyola University Maryland men's lacrosse team used a 14-2 between the second and fourth quarters to deliver a 16-8 Patriot League victory over host College of the Holy Cross.
 
Lindley scored the game's first goal off a Dan Wigley assist less than five minutes in, but Holy Cross tallied the next to take a 2-1 lead with 7:29 left in the opening quarter.
 
Dylan Binney came back to tie the game 62 seconds later when he ran from 'X' and turned over his right shoulder to score and kick off a 5-0 Greyhounds run that would eventually balloon to 14-2.
 
Kamish scored his first of four at 1:57, and Adam Poitras caught an Evan James feed on a 6-on-4 extra-man opportunity to score on the crease with 77 seconds left in the first.
 
Wigley connected again with Lindley at 11:50 in the second for Lindley to score his second of the day, and then Matt Hughes caused a turnover on the next possession to start a transition run that led to the next Greyhounds' goal. Cam Wyers carried it over the midline and threw to Ryan McNulty on the left side. He fed Davis Lindsey on the low lefty wing to score at 10:35.
 
Holy Cross would momentarily break the run with a Tim O'Callaghan goal at 9:57, getting back to within three, 6-3, but Matt Heuston came out of the box, ran by his man and scored with 9:00 left for the Greyhounds. Kamish then used an Aidan Olmstead assist to score at 8:07, and Loyola was up by five, 8-3.
 
John Mitchell tallied his second of the game for Holy Cross at 5:36, but that would be the last Crusaders goal for more than 22 minutes.
 
During that shutout stretch, Loyola scored seven in a row, starting with 4:34 to go in the first half on an Olmstead tally that gave him his 200^th career point. He became the third Loyola player and 11^th in Patriot League history to reach the plateau.
 
Kamish dodged to his left hand for a goal at 2:27 that sent the teams to halftime with Loyola in front, 10-4.
 
Poitras used a Seth Higgins assist at 14:10 too open the second half's scoring, and Kamish and Lindley added goals at 8:51 and 2:51 in the third.
 
Olmstead then reached another milestone with 1:16 remaining in the third quarter, scoring the 100^th goal of his career. He is one of just three players in school history (Gary Hanley and Pat Spencer) to tally both 100 goals and 100 assists in a career.
 
Lindley would finish the 7-0 run 59 seconds into the fourth quarter, catching a hard pass from Binney to finish inside and put Loyola in front, 15-5.
 
Holy Cross scored the next two goals before Heuston recorded his second of the game, this time off a Jack Decker assist, for his first career multi-goal game.
 
Sam Shafer made eight saves in three quarters of action for the Greyhounds, allowing only four goals in the process.
 
Defensively, Loyola forced 22 Holy Cross turnovers, 14 coming via caused turnovers. Matt Hughes had four, Cam Wyers three and Payton Rezanka and Mustang Sally each tallied two.
 
The Greyhounds had a 35-18 advantage in ground balls with Eric Pacheco's five leading the way, and Bailey Savio had four.
 
Loyola will stay on the road, albeit much closer to home, for its next game. The Greyhounds will head to Annapolis, Maryland, to face the U.S. Naval Academy in a 1 p.m. game on Saturday, April 9.
