ASHLAND, Va. – Brendan Markovic scored four times in Randolph-Macon’s 15-3 Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) men’s lacrosse victory over visiting Guilford College Saturday.

The host Yellow Jackets (5-2, 1-1 ODAC) raced to a 7-0 second-quarter lead as Colin DiSesa and Andrew Tiffey both tallied twice in the decisive spurt. Joe Eggleston got the Quakers on the scoreboard 2:25 before halftime to make it a 7-1 game at the break.

Tiffey’s third goal started the second-half scoring 3:33 into the third quarter. Guilford’s Connor Leamey won the ensuing face-off and quickly fed teammate Connor Sweeney for the Quakers’ second goal just three seconds later.

Randolph-Macon’s Dan Muller won 13-of-16 face-offs and Chris Cerrina made five saves in goal.
