A goal-scorer will find a way to score regardless of the sport.
Nothing proved more true than Riley Loewen’s four-year field lacrosse career at Limestone College in South Carolina.
Loewen, who had played just one season at the field game before accepting a scholarship to the NCAA Division program, became the school’s all-time leading scorer and finished just four points short of Devon Spilker’s career 273 total points.
The crafty lefthander shattered Nick Carlson’s career goal-scoring record of 159 markers.
He ended his tenure at Limestone with 184 goals and 85 assists.
His total goals at Limestone rank him fifth best all-time in the country in NCAA Div. II lacrosse, while his total points are also top-10 career numbers.
Loewen currently holds or shares 11 other career, single season or single game records at Limestone, including all-time shots on goal, man-up goals and games played.
Loewen was twice named player of the year in the Conference Carolinas.
In his final season at Limestone, Loewen scored three goals and added one assist in an 18-17 overtime loss to unbeaten No. 1-ranked Mercyhurst in the semifinal of the NCAA championships.
“I wanted to bring a national championship to the program. That was my goal,” said Loewen after the game.
“All the seniors, we left everything out there. We’re proud of the four years we had.”
