Westminster men roll in quarterfinal victory

NEW WILMINGTON, Pa.--Paced by sophomore Paul DiPasquale's (Woodbine, Md., Glenelg) and freshman Brendan Robinson's (Gainesville, Va., Gainesville) career-high five goal efforts, the Westminster men's lacrosse team used a dominant second half to cruise to a 22-10 victory over Franciscan in the quarterfinal round of the Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) Championship Tournament Saturday night at the UPMC Sports Complex. 

Westminster, the No. 4 seed in this year's championship tournament, improved to 12-6 with the win.

DiPasquale scored four times in the first half to help Westminster take a 9-7 lead into halftime. The Titans came out hot in the third, doubling up the Barons 6-3 before using a 7-0 fourth quarter to put the game away.
