TIFFIN -- The Heidelberg University Men's Lacrosse rallied from a 4-0 hole, storming back in the second half to upend visiting Anderson University, 7-5. Jacob Morgan scored three times, including the eventual game-winner midway through the third.   

With the season-opening victory, Heidelberg improved to 1-0.

Evans added an insurance goal with 3:26 remaining, assisted by Tyler Alexander.  

While the offense rallied, 'Berg goalkeeper Wilson Runnette was tremendous. Making 20 saves on the evening, the junior kept his squad in the game until the offense found its footing.
