West Long Branch, N.J. – Monmouth University Men's Lacrosse concluded its 2024 season Friday, falling to Drexel University, 6-4.

That held until a Monmouth offensive outburst in the third, scoring three times in 2:21 to take the 3-2 lead, with Carter Malone beginning the run on his second goal of the season. Brendan Dundas tied it, and Connor Macrae buried a man-up goal to make it 3-2 MU. Drexel responded with four in a row to close the third, and took a 6-3 lead to the final quarter.
