Centenary lacrosse sophomore attacker Gamble Harvill, an Airline High School product, scored an all-divisions NCAA single-game record 14 goals in Centenary’s 21-11 victory over the Hendrix College Warriors in a non-conference contest Saturday at Atkins Field.

Harvill stands alone in NCAA history across all three divisions (DI, DII, and DIII) for goals in a single game, as the previous mark was 13 accomplished four other DIII players and one D2 player. No Division 1 player has ever scored more than 11 goals in a game, accomplished four times.

He scored four times in the first quarter, the last with six seconds to go for a 5-5 tie. Two more Harvill scores in the second period lifted the Gents ahead 8-6.

In the third quarter, Harvill found the net four times to help Centenary take control, 16-8. His record-breaker, his fourth of the final period, came with 1:22 remaining.
