HOUGHTON, N.Y. -- Houghton men's lacrosse ended their 2017 campaign with a 13-7 loss to Alfred State at home Saturday.

Paul Chapman scored the first of his six goals just two minutes into the game, but the Pioneers scored the game's next three goals to take control. The teams traded goals over the first five minutes of the second quarter, before Alfred State added one at the end of the first half and another to start the third quarter to push their advantage to 7-3.

Two more goals by Chapman made it interesting as the Highlanders closed to within two as the third quarter came to a close, but the Pioneers answered with six-straight tallies in the fourth quarter. Chapman and Ryan Palmer got back-to-back goals to close the scoring.

Chapman finished his career as the program's all-time goal score with 150. He scored a career-high 48 this season.

The Pioneers outshot the Highlanders, 48-25, and had a 47-36 edge in ground balls. They also controlled 17 of 23 faceoff opportunities.

Jorge Medina played strong in net with 19 saves.

Houghton finishes the season with a record of 2-14.
