Syracuse, N.Y. - Sophomore attackman Jack Harmatuk (Syracuse, N.Y./Christian Brothers Academy/Syracuse U.) scored three goals and had two assists to lead #1 Le Moyne to a 16-2 win over American International in Northeast-10 Conference men's lacrosse action on Tuesday afternoon at the Thomas J. Niland Athletic Complex.

Sophomore midfielder Matt Chadderdon (Auburn, N.Y./Auburn) opened the scoring with an unassisted tally at the 14:33 mark of the first quarter. Following four scoreless minutes of action, Harmatuk recorded back-to-back goals in a 47-second span, the second of which was assisted by classmate Jack Venditti (Baldwinsville, N.Y./C.W. Baker). Senior attackman Tim Spillett (Camillus, N.Y./West Genesee/UAlbany) capped the first quarter's scoring with a goal at the 6:55 mark of the period.

The Dolphins pushed their lead out to 7-0 with three goals in the opening 3:40 of the second quarter. Venditti finished off a feed from senior midfielder Brian Welch (Ithaca, N.Y./Ithaca) with 13:15 remaining in the quarter. Le Moyne then scored twice in an eight-second span. Welch tallied an extra-man goal off a pass from senior midfielder Brooks Robinson (Preble, N.Y./Tully/Onondaga C.C.) at 12:28 and sophomore attackman Nick DiSarro (Niskayuna, N.Y./Niskayuna) deposited a shot off a pass by Harmatuk after the ensuing face-off. Welch converted his second goal of the contest at the 5:47 mark off a pass from Spillett. American International broke through with a goal by Nicholas Brett with 3:24 remaining to pull within 8-1 at the intermission.

Le Moyne scored four times in the opening 4:06 of the third quarter to take a 12-1 advantage. After senior midfielder Brian Griffin (Camillus, N.Y./West Genesee) won the opening face-off of the quarter, Harmatuk scored six seconds in off a pass from Griffin. Two minutes later, sophomore Tyler Sennett (Syracuse, N.Y./Nottingham) connected off pass from Harmatuk and Griffin put in a goal after winning the face-off. Spillett capped the 4-0 streak with 10:54 to go after getting a pass from Venditti. Dan MacIssac tallied AIC's second goal with 8:20 to go in the third quarter. Freshman midfielder Taylor Brooks (Cypress, Tex./Cy-Fair) closed out the third quarter with 2:48 remaining after finishing off a pass from junior midfielder Steve White (Cortland, N.Y./Cortland).

Freshman attackman Sean Connors (Camillus, N.Y./Marcellus) scored twice midway through the final quarter, the second of which came off a pass from junior attackman Keith Vetter (Jamesville, N.Y./Jamesville-DeWitt) with 5:14 remaining. Junior midfielder Bob McIver (Altamont, N.Y./Guilderland) capped the scoring in the contest with an extra-man goal off a pass from Spillett with 3:30 left.

Senior goalkeeper Doug McIver (Altamont, N.Y./Albany Academy), the Northeast-10 goalkeeper of the week, lowered his nation-best goals against average to 3.97 by making two saves in 24:33 of action between the pipes. Freshman Sebastian Baker (Ithaca, N.Y./Ithaca) posted two saves in 27:07, while classmate Matt Krupka (Nedrow, N.Y./Onondaga HS) made one save in 8:20.

Le Moyne (11-0, NE-10 7-0), which clinches a bye in the opening round of the conference tournament with the victory, plays its final home regular season contest of the season on Saturday against Saint Michael's at 1:00 p.m. Prior to the game, the 12-member senior class will be honored for their contributions to the program.
