Junior goalie Chris Wenger had a huge week for the Blue Jay men's lacrosse team as he stopped 30 shots in two games, including a career-high 19 at SUNY Oneonta Saturday to preserve a 7-6 victory.

Wenger, from Kingsville, Md., started the week with an 11-save game at No. 5 and defending national champion Stevenson Wednesday night. Wenger faced 50 shots from the Mustangs during the midweek match-up, a number that seemed unlikely to be topped Saturday at 1-5 SUNY Oneonta.

Only the Red Dragons did just that, shelling Wenger with 52 shots, 20 of which came in the first half. Wenger was a brick wall, though, denying nearly everything that came his way. He made eight saves to start the game and was poised to head into halftime staring at a zero on the home side of the scoreboard before Daniel Stern broke through in the final six seconds.

With Saturday's outcome undecided going to the fourth quarter, Oneonta dominated possession but could not solve Wenger yet again. He stopped eight of the 19 shots (nine on goal) that came his way as E-town held on for the one-goal win.
