In their home opener, the Georgetown Hoyas men’s lacrosse team (2-0, 2-0 Big East) overwhelmed the St. John’s Red Storm (1-3, 0-2 Big East) by a score of 19-1. Coming off a 16-1 victory against Villanova, the Hoyas managed to one up themselves and deliver a knockout effort. Graduate transfer Nicky Petkevich led the home squad with 4 goals and 1 assist, while star fifth year attackman Jake Carraway continued his fast start to the season with 6 total points (3 goals, 3 assists). Fifth year senior Mike Madsen recorded the Red Storm’s sole tally on the day.

Georgetown coach Kevin Warne says there wasn’t any “secret sauce” to what happened Sunday.
It’s pretty simple, really: Georgetown is really good, and the Hoyas were really pumped to play.
The No. 9 Hoyas were triumphant in their return to the field, raising eyebrows nationally with one of the most dominant early wins in a Top 20 game, drubbing No. 18 Villanova, 16-1.
“Not playing in 350 days, I think the guys were unbelievably excited and ready to go,” Warne said.
It’s hard to pinpoint what’s more impressive: Attackman Jake Carraway’s eight goals and an assist, the complete offensive effort that allowed Carraway to shine, or the strangling defensive effort that saw the Hoyas hold the Wildcats scoreless for 50:51.
