Senior goalie Alex Beauchemin made 12 saves in a winning effort, while junior attack Landon Reyes dished out two assists. Bash Cunningham (1 goal, 1 assist) and Anthony DeRosa (1 goal, 1 assist) were vital components to the victory.

"It is great to get another league win," said Lasell University Men's Lacrosse Head Coach Dieter Treusdell. "Our captains and upperclassmen have been tremendous. They set the tone every day in practice. We have taken some great steps forward in the last few games and it starts with their leadership. I am excited to keep building for our next challenge in Anna Maria."

Leading the way for the Saints (1-7, 0-4 GNAC) were Thomas Quigley (1 goal, 4 assists), Ryan Castle (1 goal, 1 assist), Drew Chant (1 goal, 1 assist) and Colin Dickinson (2 goals). Goalie Eric Anderson made a game-leading 13 saves.

Stone found the back of the net twice in the first quarter for the Lasers, with his second tally giving the hosts a 4-1 advantage in the final minute. Lasell won the second quarter, 6-1, including scoring the final five goals of the half. A goal by Stone, assisted by Cunningham, with 2:31 on the scoreboard sent the Lasers into intermission with a 10-3 advantage.

Emmanuel held a 5-3 advantage on the scoreboard in the final 30 minutes, but two goals from Anderson and one by Hines secured a five-goal win for Lasell.

Senior faceoff specialist Steven Phelps collected a game-best nine ground balls and won 13-of-24 faceoffs. Hines, Anderson, Cunningham and Stone combined for 34 shots and 18 on target. The Lasers led the ground-balls category, 45-32, and held a 48-35 lead in shots.
