ADRIAN, Mich. -- The Adrian College Men's Lacrosse team hosted Hope College on Saturday afternoon at Docking Stadium, but fell to the Dutchmen by a 14-4 score.

To start the game, the Bulldogs came out hot by generating a quick two-goal lead on goals from Michael Jonas and Riley Edwards. Although from then on, it was the Flying Dutchmen who controlled for most of the game. Adrian would receive two more tallies in the game; one from Jonas and one from Cameron Reed to complete their game total. Austin Selvage and Trent Tidswell each provided an assist for Adrian in the game. The Flying Dutchmen would continue to press all throughout, finishing with the 14-4 road victory.
