BALTIMORE – Senior Jack Wilson notched a season-high five points, but the Boston University men's lacrosse team suffered a 23-9 setback at No. 9/10 Loyola Maryland on Saturday afternoon at Ridley Athletic Complex.

HOW IT HAPPENED

• Loyola (9-3, 6-1 PL) scored the first three goals of the game before Wilson opened the Terriers' account with his 24th goal of the year to cut the deficit to 3-1 with 10:30 to go in the opening frame.
• Freshman Chris Gray got on the board right after Loyola took a 4-1 lead. Sophomore Chase Levesque picked up the ground ball off the ensuing faceoff and quickly found Gray with a pass. Gray dodged right past his defender and then ripped a shot inside the right post.
