TOP-RANKED MEN’S LACROSSE COMPLETES CONFERENCE PLAY UNDEFEATED WITH 13-7 WIN AT SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE

Manchester, N.H. – Midfielders Joe Corapi (Liverpool, N.Y./Liverpool) and Matt Taylor (Manlius, N.Y./Fayetteville-Manlius/Cornell) each scored four goals to lead the top-ranked Le Moyne College men's lacrosse team to a 13-7 win at Southern New Hampshire University on Saturday in the Northeast-10 Conference regular season finale at Larkin Field.

The Dolphins tallied all four of the goals in the first quarter. Corapi broke the seal with an unassisted tally just under three minutes into the game. Senior attackman Kevin Kelly (Basking Ridge, N.J./Ridge) doubled the lead with 7:27 left with his 31st goal of the year off a feed from classmate Chris Breiner (Troy, N.Y./Trinity-Pawling). Just 39 seconds later, Taylor finished off a pass from junior attackman Logan Thomas (Liverpool, N.Y./Liverpool/Onondaga C.C.) for his 23rd goal of the campaign. Taylor netted an unassisted goal with 1:06 left in the first for a 4-0 lead.

Cameron Joyce got the Penmen on the scoreboard 1:05 into the second quarter.

Le Moyne answered with four goals over a stretch of four minutes. Corapi started the run with his 35th goal of the year with 9:43 left. Just over two minutes later, Thomas registered his 17th marker of the season after taking a pass from sophomore midfielder/attackman Alex O'Brien (Hanson, Mass./Boston College High). Corapi put the Dolphins up 7-1 with 6:43 left, while Taylor scored 50 seconds later off a feed from Thomas in an extra-man situation.

Southern New Hampshire cut its deficit to 8-3 with the next two goals. Joyce tallied his second goal of the day with 4:49 remaining off a pass from Cameron McGuire, while Daniel Trainor finished off a feed from Zach Jacobs with 2:48 to go.

Kelly finished off the scoring in the first half by finding the back of the net with 12 seconds remaining.

Corapi pushed Le Moyne's lead back to seven with his fourth goal of the afternoon with 11:52 left in the third quarter.

The Penmen got back within five with a pair of goals in 62 seconds. Keifer Heckman scored just after an extra-man opportunity expired with 8:50 left, while McGuire then finished off a pass from Joyce.

Le Moyne tallied three consecutive goals over the end of the third quarter and the beginning of the fourth quarter to take its largest lead of the game. Kelly capped the third quarter's scoring by tickling the twine with 5:57 left after taking a transition pass from junior defensive midfielder Kyle DeAngelis (Liverpool, N.Y./Liverpool). Taylor recorded his fourth goal of the day 2:48 into the fourth quarter, while Thomas finished off a pass from O'Brien in a 6-on-4 situation with 7:28 left for a 13-5 lead.

The Penmen scored the last two goals of the game to deliver the final margin. Joyce tallied his third goal of the day in an extra-man opportunity with 5:13 left, while Jeremy Buckley completed the game's scoring with an unassisted goal with 53 seconds left.

Senior goalkeeper Alex Krawec (Kirkville, N.Y./East Syracuse-Minoa/Onondaga C.C.) registered 14 saves (against six goals) over 55:27 between the pipes to earn his 13th victory of the year. Crosby Nicholson posted 12 saves (against 13 goals) over 54:02 in the setback.

Le Moyne (13-1, 11-0 NE-10), which went undefeated in conference play for the 13th time in 16 years, will host either fourth-seeded Franklin Pierce University or fifth-seeded Assumption College on Friday at 2:00 p.m. in the Northeast-10 Conference semifinals. The Ravens and Greyhounds play at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday in Rindge, New Hampshire.
