ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The No. 17-ranked University of Michigan men's lacrosse team moved to 4-0 on the young season with a 23-10 win over the Canisius Golden Griffins Tuesday (Feb. 22) at U-M Lacrosse Stadium.
The Michigan (4-0) offense scored a program-record 23 goals behind another record-setting performance by junior Josh Zawada. The attackman scored a single-game record seven goals on the day and added three assists for 10 points. Zawada also scored his 100th career point against the Golden Griffins midway through the opening quarter, making him the fastest Wolverine in program history to reach the mark.
Sophomore Michael Boehm had four goals and four assists in the effort while freshmen Ryan Cohen and Aidan Mulholland each added three tallies. Jake Bonomi, Justin Brown, Justin Ennis, Ryan Schriber, Lucas Delgado, and Kyle Stephenson scored one goal apiece. The tally for Ennis was the first of his career, marking the 19th different player to score a goal on the year for the Wolverines.
Michigan and Canisius traded goals for much of the first half with the score standing at 11-8 at the break. U-M was able to pull away in the second half, however, and outscored the Golden Griffins 12-2, including a six-goal run in the third quarter.
At the face-off dot Michigan went 21-of-37 (57 percent) as Nick Rowlett won 12-of-23 and Justin Wietfeldt won 9-of-14. In goal, Shane Carr had 13 saves compared to ten goals against. U-M held Canisius to 17-of-22 in the clearing game with Boehm causing three turnovers, and won the ground ball battle 40-32.
With the win, U-M moves to 4-0 to start the season for the first time since 2017.
Next up, Michigan closes out a two-game week, hosting the Cleveland State Vikings on Saturday (Feb. 26) at 1 p.m. at U-M Lacrosse Stadium.
