The Centenary University Men's Lacrosse team faced a tough challenge in their road opener, falling 25-4 to Fairleigh Dickinson University (FDU). Despite the tough loss, the Cyclones showed flashes of potential, with standout performances from Brian Rosko and Marty Zoet, who combined for all four of Centenary's goals in the game.

Rosko, one of the team's offensive leaders, found the back of the net three times, demonstrating his skill and determination despite the lopsided scoreline. His hat trick was a highlight in an otherwise challenging game for the Cyclones, as they struggled to match FDU's intensity on both ends of the field.

Zoet added a single goal, contributing to the Cyclones' offensive effort and showcasing his leadership as a senior on the team. The pair's efforts were not enough to overcome the dominant performance by FDU, who were relentless throughout the game, using their speed and precision to outpace Centenary.

FDU's offense was unstoppable, consistently attacking and converting at will, while their defense stifled Centenary's offensive chances. The Cyclones had difficulty getting into an offensive rhythm, often being forced to play defense for extended stretches. While Centenary did have some bright moments, including several strong saves from their goalie, the game was ultimately controlled by FDU from start to finish.

The game served as a tough reminder of the challenges that come with competing at the collegiate level, especially against a seasoned and well-coached opponent like FDU. However, Centenary's players remain motivated and committed to developing throughout the season.

The Cyclones will return to the field in their next matchup, ready to bounce back and continue building momentum as the season progresses. The road ahead is challenging, but the team's resilience and determination will be key in their efforts to improve.
