The Tompkins Cortland Community College lacrosse team put together a dominating performance Wednesday, beating Mohawk Valley Community College by a final of 20-2. The margin of victory is the biggest in the history of the program and improves the Panthers record to 4-2 on the year. Mohawk Valley drops to 0-3.

The Panthers never trailed, getting on the board first on a goal by Anthony Irizarry (Middletown/Middletown H.S.) in the third minute of play. Mohawk Valley evened the game with a quick score, but the Panthers ran off four straight goals in a two-minute span to make it 5-1 with 9:19 left in the first. Mohawk Valley broke the run with a goal, but Tompkins Cortland closed out the quarter with four more to make the score 9-2 after one. The lead just grew the rest of the way as Mohawk Valley was held off the board and the Panthers added five goals in the second, four in the third, and two in the fourth.
