PHILADELPHIA, Pa. – After trailing, 7-2, halfway through the second quarter, the Dartmouth men's lacrosse team mounted a comeback and tied the score twice in the third, but ultimately fell to Penn, 15-12, in its final road game of the 2015 season.

The Big Green dipped to 4-7 and 1-4 in Ivy League play, while the Quakers improved to 6-6 and 3-3 in conference action in their last regular season contest of the year.

Penn's leading point scorer, Nick Doktor, unsurprisingly led both teams with five goals and three assists. For the Green, senior Adam Fishman had another big day, netting five goals. He is now first on the team with 20 markers. Fellow senior Phil Hession went 17-for-24 on the face-off and led the team with 10 ground balls. Playing all 60 minutes between the pipes, junior Blair Friedensohn stopped 12 shots while being tagged with the loss.

The first quarter was relatively evenly matched: Penn struck first less than three minutes in, but Fishman's first of the day got Dartmouth on the board four minutes later. With four more tallies, including one by the Quakers' Kevin McGeary with eight ticks left on the clock, Penn entered the second with a slight 4-2 edge.

Three straight Quaker goals gave the home team a 7-2 lead early in the second quarter, but the Big Green clawed their way back with two by Fishman and one by junior Jack Connolly, closing the gap to 7-5 heading into the third.

The third quarter was an eventful one for both teams. An unassisted marker by freshman Jack Korzelius locked things at 10, but only until Isaac Bock's 10th of the season with 1:08 to play gave Penn the go ahead. With six seconds remaining, Fishman scored his fourth of the day to tie the score at 11 going into the final 15 minutes.

Penn broke that tie a minute into the fourth and ran with the lead, scoring twice more before Dartmouth could get one of its own, a Fishman tally with 3:04 to play which would end up being the Green's only goal of the quarter. McGeary found the back of the net once more with 42 seconds left to end the day.

The home team outshot the visitors, 42-33. Dartmouth went 21-for-30 in face-offs and was 1-for-1 with the extra player, while holding Penn to 2-for-5.

Dartmouth will host UMass Lowell in a non-conference tilt scheduled for 7 p.m. on Tuesday, April 21. The Green will honor their eight seniors on Saturday, April 25, when they host Brown on Senior Day.
