BALTIMORE – Loyola University Maryland men's lacrosse did not allow a goal in the final 21-plus minutes on Thursday, scoring the last five goals on Tuesday afternoon in an 11-7 victory over visiting Bucknell University in the Patriot League Quarterfinals.
 
The third-seeded Greyhounds (8-7 overall) move on to face No. 2 seed Army West Point in a semifinal on Friday, May 6, at 7 p.m. in Boston, Massachusetts.
 
Davis Lindsey matched his career-highs with two goals and three assists on Tuesday, while Evan James, Kevin Lindley and Adam Poitras all scored three times.

Sam Shafer made seven of his 13 saves in the second half for Loyola, and Bailey Savio went 14 of 22 on faceoffs.
 
Loyola's defense held Bucknell's starting attack of Alston Tarry, Dutch Furlong and Connor Davis – a trio that entered with a combined 155 points having all posted 51 or more – to just three goals and an assist in the quarterfinal. The Bison did not score a goal in six-on-six defense in the last 43 minutes, 54 seconds of the game with their three goals from that point coming in transition.
 
One of those goals came with 6:35 to go in the third quarter when Nick Crovatto won a faceoff to himself and scored six seconds after Dan Wigley had tied the game at 6-6.
 
Crovatto's goal gave Bucknell (9-6) a 7-6 advantage, but it would be the last score of the day for the Bison.
 
James tied the game for Loyola with 2:31 to go in the third when he had the ball initially checked away from him below goal line. He grabbed the loose ball and slid under his defender to get to the crease to score his second of the day.
 
Just under five minutes into the fourth quarter, Lindsey got free in the left alley and threw across the crease to Aidan Olmstead on the back-side pipe where Olmstead dumped in a goal to give the Greyhounds a lead they would not relinquish.
 
Lindsey picked up his third assist of the game with 8:58 on the clock, working behind the goal to throw a pass to Poitras on the interior, making it a 9-7 lead.
 
Matt Heuston then initiated with a dodge on the left side and got the ball to Wigley on the opposite pipe. Wigley dumped in a shot and tap-danced around the crease for his first multi-goal game of the season. His score was Loyola's third in less than three minutes and put the Greyhounds up 10-7.
 
Poitras added his second of the 5-0 run with a tally off a Seth Higgins assist at 5:09, capping the scoring.
 
Bucknell got out to a 2-0 lead with goals by Connor Davis and Jack Feda in the game's fourth minute, but Lindsey put Loyola on the board by ping-ponging between defenders to score at 10:15 in the first quarter. He then threw to Kevin Lindley for a goal at 9:22 that evened the score at 2-2.
 
Tarry put Bucknell in back in front 30 seconds later, but Lindsey again scored unassisted at 6:20, and the teams went into the second quarter tied.
 
The Bison regained the lead on a right-to-left sweep and shot by Cam Doolan at 13:05, and Furlong took a Joe Scattereggia pass in transition to make it 5-3 Bucknell.
 
Loyola reeled off two goals in 66 seconds as James first scored off a Lindley assist, and the reverse then happened at 3:50 to even the game at 5-5.

Lindley's goal was the 193^rd of his collegiate career, moving him past Gary Gait for 10^th in NCAA Division I history.
 
The Bison took a 6-5 lead with 1:49 to go before the break when Travis Talarico picked up a ground ball, transitioned to the offensive end and fed Danny Striano for what would be their penultimate goal of the game.
 
Loyola had a 33-20 advantage in ground balls, including 10-4 in the fourth quarter. Savio led Loyola with 10 off of his faceoff wins, while Cam Wyers had six on the defensive end to go with two caused turnovers.
