The Bobcats sponsored men's lacrosse as a varsity sport from 1970-78, but the team was moved to club status following the 1978 season.

FSU fell behind 1-0 less than four minutes into action, but rattled off two-consecutive Luhmann goals for a 2-1 lead. Shenandoah (0-1) tied the game at 2-2, but the Bobcats found the net eight-straight times covering the second, third and fourth quarters for a 10-2 advantage. The Hornets scored their third goal of the game in the waning seconds.

The Bobcats return to action on Wednesday when they host St. Vincent at 4 p.m.
