A game that started as a defensive battle turned into a Wabash rout as the Little Giants' lacrosse team scored 11 second-half goals to earn a 14-0 win at Anderson University Wednesday evening.
 
Wabash (2-1) blanked an opponent for the second time in program history. The last shutout occurred in 2018 when the Little Giants defeated Earlham College 24-0.
 
Neither Wabash nor Anderson could find the back of the net in the first period. Blake Stephens ended the scoreless affair with less than six minutes left in the first period by scoring off a pass from Artie Rogers to put the Little Giants in front 1-0. Stephens added two more goals in the second period to give Wabash a 3-0 lead at halftime.
 
The Little Giants exploded on offense in the third period, tallying seven goals to break the game open. Will Sorg and Luka DiFilippo scored unassisted goals before Jake Pippen added a pair of goals with assists from Rogers and Evan Stonis. Zade Kalesperis, Sam Santiago, and Lucas Cunningham each scored to put the Little Giants in front 10-0 heading into the final period.
 
Christian Dybedock, Rogers, Stephens, and Josh Taylor each added fourth-period goals to complete the 14-0 victory. Rogers finished the game with five assists, while Taylor added two helpers on goals.
 
Colin Krekeler made seven saves to earn the win in goal for Wabash. Hayden Hicks picked up two saves in a backup role for the Little Giants. Quinn Shefferly paced the defense with four caused turnovers. Shefferly and DiFilippo each scooped up six ground balls. DiFilippo won 10 of 13 faceoff chances for the Little Giants.
