College lacrosse: Towson rallies in second half to win CAA title

  The Tigers won their second-straight CAA Championship and sixth in program history.

TOWSON, Md. – The top-seeded Towson men's lacrosse team defeated second-seeded Fairfield 4-2 in the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) Championship game on Saturday afternoon. The Tigers won their second-straight CAA Championship and sixth in program history.

The game was the lowest scoring championship game in CAA history with the teams combining for six goals. The previous lowest scoring championship game occurred in 2011 when Delaware defeated UMass 9-7.

Towson senior attackman Spencer Parks scored a game-high two goals, including the game-winner. Junior attackman Joe Seider and junior midfielderTyler Konen each added goals for the Tigers.

Towson was held scoreless in the first half for the first time since April 12, 2014 at Penn State.

The Tiger defense impressed, holding Fairfield to just two goals in the game. Towson senior defender Mike Lowe held Fairfield's attackman Colin Burke, CAA Co-Player of the Year and the conference's leader scorer, without a goal in the game.
