Box Score
Denison 16, Ohio Wesleyan 8

Sophomore attacker Max Tennant (Englewood, Colo./Cherry Creek) tallied twice as 19th-ranked Ohio Wesleyan took a 3-1 second-quarter lead, but fourth-ranked Denison answered with a 4-0 run and went on to a win in the championship game of the North Coast Athletic Conference tournament on Sunday in Granville.

Tennant put the Bishops on the scoreboard midway through the first quarter, courtesy of a feed from sophomore attacker Conor Caffrey (Scituate, Mass./Brewster (N.H.) Academy).  After Denison's Henry DeCamp won the ensuing face-off and scored, the Bishops answered with goals by sophomore midfielder Cole Jamieson (Okemos, Mich.) and Tennant to take a 3-1 lead early in the second period.

Denison countered with goals by Alex Paulus and Teddy Sawyer less than a minute apart to even the contest at 3, and Will Donohue followed with a goal to give the Big Red the lead.  Another Donohue goal midway through the second quarter put the hosts ahead, 5-3.

Caffrey brought the Bishops within 5-4 with 6:22 left in the first half, but the Big Red got a goal from Brooks Davy late in the period.  Denison would go on to outscore Ohio Wesleyan, 6-0, during the third quarter, with Donohue and Liam Rooney scoring twice apiece.

Tennant led the Bishops with 4 goals, while Caffrey finished with a goal and 3 assists.  Freshman Andrew Halmi (Freehold, N.J./Colts Neck) was credited with 14 saves in the Ohio Wesleyan goal.

Donohue led Denison with 5 goals and an assist.  Stephen Paras had 10 saves for the Big Red.

Caffrey, Halmi, senior defenseman Jordan Carlson (Delaware/Hayes), and junior midfielder Luke Leyden (Northfield, Mass./Northfield Mt. Hermon) represented the Bishops on the all-tournament team.
