Lexington, Ky. – Five Pioneers registered multi-goal games as the Transylvania men's lacrosse team cruised to a 21-2 victory over the Bethany College Bison at Pat Deacon Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

The game served as the Ohio River Men's Lacrosse Conference opener for Transylvania, which now boasts an overall record of 2-2 on the season.
