LEXINGTON, Va. – The Piedmont men's lacrosse team lost 23-2 to No. 13 Washington and Lee in the second round of the NCAA Tournament on Wednesday night.

The Lions' (9-9) historic season comes to an end with the loss while W&L (16-4) will advance to the third round with a matchup at York (Pa.) on Saturday.

The Generals made their 21st NCAA appearance on Wednesday and came in with an 11-game winning streak while Piedmont made its first tournament appearance.

W&L scored the game's first goal at 11:05 and closed the first quarter with a 5-0 lead. The Generals would then extend its lead to 8-0 before JOSH COBBINA scored off an assist from NICK BURNS in transition to put Piedmont on the board with 2:25 to play in the first half.

The Generals opened the second half with a man-up goal and pulled ahead 12-1 with five minutes left in the third quarter.

BRADY JENKS scored an unassisted goal to cut the deficit to 12-2, but the W&L depth was too much for Piedmont as they finished the game with an 11-0 run.
