Jesuit opened a three-game stint at the 2019 Jesuit Lacrosse Invitational with an 11-8 win over Jesuit Tampa on Mar. 22 in Miami, Florida. Anchored by a five-goal performance from senior Jacob Jackson, Jesuit remains unbeaten on the year, moving to 9-0 on the season ahead of a Saturday doubleheader against Canisius (N.Y.) and Gonzaga (D.C.).
 
Jackson's stellar offensive night was accompanied by goals from seniors Peter Buell, Matthew Priddy, Zachary Rilley, juniors Tommy Hovivian, Billy Metz and sophomore Curran Rose. Rilley and sophomore Sam Teachout tacked on two assists each to help anchor the Jesuit attack as Priddy, Metz and freshman McAllister Hobbs tacked on one assist each.
 
Senior William Moran matched a season-high with 12 saves against the Tigers, earning his eighth win of the year in the process. Sophomore Henry Suarez was a key contributor with a 6-of-10 clip at the faceoff "x", matching Hovivian with a team-leading four ground balls. Junior Drew Martin and freshman Tyler Gazzam caused two turnovers each as Jesuit (9-0) forced nine turnovers while securing 28 ground balls compared to 18 by Jesuit Tampa. The Ranger defense forced three failed clears and limited Tampa to 11 shots to take a 6-4 lead.
 
After Jesuit Tampa secured the game-opening goal, Jesuit ripped off three unanswered goals to close out the first quarter on tallies from Metz, Jackson and Rilley. Two goals by Tampa's Tucker Gray tied the game before two goals from Jackson and a goal from Rose sent Jesuit into the halftime break with two goals.
 
Jesuit was outscored, 3-2 in the third quarter on goals from Buell and Priddy, as the tally from Priddy with 53 seconds left in the third sparked a game-changing, four-goal run which saw Jackson tally his fourth and fifth goals alongside tallies from Priddy and Hovivian. Jesuit only allowed one goal in the fourth as the Ranger defense was able to lock down on the Tigers down the stretch for the win.
 
The Rangers will battle Canisius at 10 a.m. on Saturday before closing out the tournament against nationally-ranked Gonzaga at 2:15 p.m. Jesuit will return to Postell Stadium after the two-day tournament for a season-closing run which is highlighted by three home games in five days.
