Shreveport- The Centenary lacrosse team has been selected as Centenary Athletics' "Team of the Week" after the Gents set a program record for goals in a game on Friday in their dominant 23-2 victory over the Spalding University Golden Eagles at Mayo Field.
Centenary topped 20 goals for the first time in program history as its previous single-game record was 18 in an 18-8 win at Dallas on April 24, 2021. The Gents scored just over a minute into the game and never looked back, taking a 6-0 lead after one quarter and scored six more in the second period to lead 12-1 at halftime. The Maroon and White scored eight times in the third period and three times in the fourth to polish off a comfortable victory.
Senior M/A Kyle Comi (Allen, Texas) scored the Gents' first goal at the 13:45 mark in the first quarter and proceeded to score four more times and added three assists for a memorable Senior Day performance. Senior John Mark Waniewski (Bossier City, La.) tied his single-game career high with seven goals, and sophomore A G'Colby Spivey (Dallas, Texas) and sophomore A Braxton Parchman (Shreveport, La.) each scored three.
Senior A/MF Mark Temple (Houston, Texas) and freshman A Liam Johns (Shreveport, La.) each scored two and freshman MF Seven Davillier (Shreveport, La.) scored his first-career goal. Spivey matched Comi with three assists, Parchman and Temple each had two, and Johns added one assist. Sophomore GK Dylan Miller (Shreveport, La.) made his first-career start and picked up his first win as he went the distance and made five saves.
Centenary fell 14-12 on Saturday at home to Earlham College in its final home game of the regular season as the Maroon and White scored 35 goals for the week.
