BREVARD, N.C. - The Brevard College men's lacrosse team (1-9, 0-3 USA South) fell 9-7 in a close matchup to USA South Conference foe William Peace University (2-7, 1-3 USAS) on Saturday afternoon at Ives-Lemel Family Field.
The Tornados started out hot, scoring three of the four first-quarter goals to open up a 3-1 edge. However, the script was flipped in the second period when the Pacers outscored the Tornados 5-1 to take a 6-4 lead into the intermission.

Corbett scored his second goal of the game just over a minute into the third period to cut the deficit to one goal, but three-consecutive Pacer goals gave the visitors a game-high 9-5 edge early in the fourth quarter.
