A five-point night from Rob Pannell was not enough as the Lizards lost to the Chesapeake Bayhawks, 16-14, at Stuart Stadium on Saturday. Pannell tallied three goals and two assists while Justin Reh, Nick Aponte and Gregory Puskuldjian each scored two goals. Between the pipes, Austin Kaut made 12 saves for the Lizards who dropped to 0-3 at Hofstra University's James M. Shuart Stadium. Credit: New York Lizards
