COLLEGEVILLE, Pa. - The Plattsburgh State men's lacrosse team suffered its first loss of the season, a 9-6 decision at Ursinus College in a non-conference game Tuesday night.

Plattsburgh (3-1) tied the game at 3-all with 13:31 left in the third quarter on Brett McClelland's 10th goal of the year. Joey Kramer assisted on the goal.
