Lisle, Ill. - Seth Yance's 16 saves weren't enough as the Griffin defense allowed Benedictine to score 23 goals while Fontbonne only netted six past the Eagles.
Fontbonne's small squad was hurting against the 31-man Benedictine army. Fontbonne found it hard to stop Blake Keenan who scored seven goals on nine shots for the Eagles. Fifteen of their 23 goals were assisted.
After the first quarter, Benedictine led 6-3. The Griffins were only able to score two goals in the second quarter and trailed 13-5 at halftime. A scoreless Fontbonne third quarter followed by a Benedictine 4-1 fourth quarter advantage gave the Griffins their seventh loss on the season. The Griffins suffered on the faceoff, winning just seven of 33 attempts but scored on six of just 15 shot attempts.
Fontbonne returns to the field as they host Hendrix College this Tuesday at noon at Centene Stadium.
