It was a short slate of seven Division I men’s games on Sunday, but several results are worth noting.

DENVER REBOUNDS DAY AFTER LOSS

Less than 24 hours after a two-goal loss to Jacksonville, Denver played host to Canisius. The Griffs kept it close for a half, trailing the Pios by just one at halftime, but they couldn’t hang with the No. 15 team in the nation.

Denver (3-2) outscored Canisius (1-3) 13-3 in the second half of a 20-9 win at Peter Barton Lacrosse Stadium. JJ Sillstrop and Noah Manning each had three goals and one assist, and 10 Pios scored in the win.

Colin Kelly and Jacob Buck scored consecutive goals for Canisius in the second quarter that tied the score at 6. Sillstrop scored a few minutes before halftime for a 7-6 Denver lead, and the Pios came out of the half by scoring the first eight goals of the third quarter.

GRAY’S SEVEN GOALS PACE UNC OVER HOPKINS

Chris Gray was a one-man wrecking crew against No. 9 Johns Hopkins, scoring seven goals with two assists in a 15-10 win for No. 13 North Carolina at Dorrance Field. Nicky Solomon had three goals and three assists, and Joey Epstein scored four times for Hopkins (3-2).

North Carolina (4-1) never trailed. Johns Hopkins tied the score at 5 on Garrett Degnon’s goal with nine minutes left in the second quarter, but Gray scored 45 seconds later to give his side a lead it wouldn’t relinquish.

NOTABLE

• No. 10 Jacksonville improved to 5-1 with a 15-9 win over Air Force, a victory buoyed by a seven-goal second quarter. Jacob Greiner scored six times, and Max Waldbaum scored five times. Air Force led 5-3 on Brandon Dodd’s man-up goal early in the second quarter, but Jacksonville scored the next 10 goals.

• Stony Brook won the inaugural Long Island Cup with a 10-6 win over LIU, which upset Hofstra on Friday to advance to the final. Noah Armitage scored three goals, and Christian Lowd sealed the deal with a pole goal late in the fourth quarter. Dylan Pallonetti had two goals and three assists, and Anthony Palma made 11 saves.
