On a gorgeous Spring Break day, Rhodes travelled up to Transylvania (Lexington, KY) on Monday, March 11th to play our third game in six days and pushed past a determined Pioneer squad. Both teams came out firing, generating quality shots early. Rhodes found the back of the net first and pulled away to a 7-2 halftime lead. With Rhodes holding a slim lead at 2-1, the Rhodes defense buckled down and caused a turnover and Jimmy Mayfield '24 corralled a critical loose ball and pushed it forward to Reed Dousevics '25 who raced down the field for a transition goal to gain some momentum and juice up the Rhodes sideline. Riding the momentum wave, Rhodes produced a 7-2 halftime lead. The second half saw Rhodes control tempo for long stretches and widen their lead by one goal to finish the game at 12-6.
Highlights:
High Scorers – Drew Litner '25 2 goals, 2 assists; Drew Downes '25 3 goals
Josh Salisbury '25 14 saves
The defensive middie units of Lucas Pagliarulo '26, Jim Davis '26, Reed Dousevics '25, Jimmy Mayfield '24 and long stick specialists David Hart '25, Mitch Jacobs '25, and Cohan Simmons '27 keeping the Pioneers off balance all game
