Men’s lacrosse outlasts Catholic brethren

The Georgetown men’s lacrosse team exploded with a first-period offensive flurry in Saturday’s 14-10 win over Baltimore’s Loyola College Greyhounds. The explosions, which resounded as loudly as those over Baltimore Harbor that inspired Francis Scott Key’s national anthem in 1813, created immediate distance between the two clubs clawing towards a berth in the NCAA Championship Tournament.
