Wilkie Scores 50th Goal in Loss to Catholic

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Junior Craig Wilkie became just the third player in school history to score 50 goals in a season, but Catholic used a big first half to hand the Rangers a 25-10 setback in a Landmark Conference (LC) matchup Saturday afternoon.

Wilkie finished with four goals, and his third tally of the game marked No. 50 on the season. He becomes the first Ranger to achieve the feat since Mike Talarico finished with 51 goals in 2001.

Sophomore Brett Spafford and freshman Brian Windisch added two goals apiece for the Rangers (8-5, 2-2 LC) while sophomore GJ Nazziola won 17 of 31 faceoffs and picked up 14 ground balls. Sophomore Tyler McCarthy and senior Jack Tynan posted three caused turnovers apiece while senior Anthony Tufaro made 18 saves.

Eighteen different players scored a goal for the conference-leading Cardinals (8-3, 4-0 LC).

Catholic netted the first 15 goals of the game and carried a 17-2 lead into halftime. Windisch and sophomore Alex Higgins scored one goal apiece in the opening half for the Rangers.

The two sides played to a 4-4 tie in both the third and fourth quarters. Freshman Charlie Collins and Spafford struck for Drew's first two goals in the third before Wilkie netted his first two of the game.

Windisch and Spafford scored the Rangers' first two goals of the fourth quarter. Wilkie then reached his milestone with 8:02 left in the game before netting the final goal of the game with 55 ticks showing.

Drew is back in action on Wednesday, when they host the University of Scranton at 7 p.m. in another Landmark Conference affair.
