(March 10, 2007 - WEST POINT, N.Y). - Two late goals by senior Brian Clayton (Monsey, N.Y.) helped to seal a 7-4 victory for the No. 3 Cornell men's lacrosse team as it defeated No. 9 Army this afternoon at Michie Stadium. Despite never trailing in the game, the Big Red also never led by more than two goals until Clayton scored his second of the game with 1:46 remaining in the game. The contest was a tightly fought battle with Cornell's high scoring offense being held in check by the stingy defense and deliberate offense of the Black Knights.

Cornell (4-0) was led by Clayton with two goals and one assist, while senior David Mitchell (Moose Jaw, Sask.) also added two goals. Senior Eric Pittard (Skaneateles, N.Y.) was the only other multi-point scorer for the Big Red with one goal and one assist. Army (4-1) was led by Ryan Chase's (Webster, NY) two goals
