WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – After seizing an early lead, Palm Beach Atlantic men's lacrosse couldn't hold off Lynn on Wednesday night, falling 15-7 to the Fighting Knights.

Gunner Gebelein got things started quickly by taking the opening ground ball off a face off win by Landon Johnson and scoring just 14 seconds in to the game. Lynn responded by scoring the next five goals and ended the quarter with an 8-2 advantage. Blake Israel scored the first of his three goals in the quarter.

PBA was never able to get back into the game, pulling to within five at 10-5 on a goal from Zach Holmes late in the second. That was the score heading into halftime but Lynn scored five straight in the third to take a commanding lead. PBA added goals by Jordan Trowbridge and Zack Figura in the fourth quarter.

Gebelein led the team with six ground balls and two caused turnovers. Townsend Brown was credited with fice ground balls with Blake Israel and Jackson Miller each getting credit for three. Marcus Lantier made 10 saves in goal for PBA.

The Sailfish return to action on Saturday as they make the trip to Winter Park to take on Rollins at 1 p.m.
