Pundt’s Four-Point Day Highlights Lakers' Effort in Loss to TC3
The Finger Lakes Community College men’s lacrosse team traded early punches with Tompkins Cortland on Wednesday afternoon, but the Panthers’ offense pulled away late in a 23-7 loss for the Lakers.
DRYDEN, N.Y. - Finger Lakes opened the game with some offensive rhythm, scoring twice in the final 90 seconds of the first quarter thanks to Isaac Pundt (Seneca Falls, N.Y./Mynderse) and Dakota Bajdas (Geneva, N.Y./Geneva), who each tallied unassisted goals to trim TC3's lead to 8-2 after one.
Pundt impacted in the second quarter, scoring again just over two minutes in and assisting Philip Love (Seneca Falls, N.Y./Mynderse) to bring the Lakers within six at 10-4. He added his 3rd and 4th goals later in the quarter, including a slick unassisted strike with 33 seconds left in the half, accounting for his team-high 4 goals on the day.
Love finished with 1 goal and 1 assist, while Bajdas scored his second of the game in the fourth quarter to give FLCC their seventh and final tally. Defensively, the Lakers couldn't keep up with TC3's ball movement as the Panthers used a well-rounded attack to score in every quarter.
The loss drops the Lakers to 0-8 overall and marks the end of their 2025 campaign. Finger Lakes will shift its focus to the 2026 season, where it will welcome an even mix of sophomore returners and incoming freshmen.
