Syracuse, N.Y. – Senior attackman Mike Jenkins (Clifton Park, N.Y./Shenendehowa) scored a career-high five goals to lead the second-ranked Le Moyne College men's lacrosse team to a 17-5 win over Southern New Hampshire University in Northeast-10 Conference action on Saturday at Ted Grant Field.

The Dolphins opened the game with the first six goals, including a pair over the first 2:46. Just over one minute in, Jenkins tallied his first of the day off a pass from senior attackman Logan Thomas (Liverpool, N.Y./Liverpool/Onondaga C.C.). The duo reversed roles for Le Moyne's second goal with 12:14 left in the first quarter. The Dolphins took a 3-0 lead into the second quarter as junior attackman Cade Kelleher (Binghamton, N.Y./Seton Catholic) found the back of the net with two seconds left off a pass in transition from senior midfielder Nick Kline (Liverpool, N.Y./Liverpool).

The Dolphins took advantage of an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on the Southern New Hampshire bench to score twice early in the second quarter. Senior attackman Andrew Jackson (Syracuse, N.Y./Henninger) netted his 12th goal of the season with 12:07 left off a pass from sophomore midfielder Justin Kesselring (Fairport, N.Y./Fairport). Just before the penalty expired, Kesselring fed graduate student midfielder Matt Taylor (Manlius, N.Y./Fayetteville-Manlius/Cornell) for his 11th goal of the year with 11:22 to go. Senior midfielder Mike Fiorini (Cicero, N.Y./Cicero-North Syracuse) capped the game-opening run with his sixth goal with 9:44 left.

Cameron Joyce was a part of two goals in a span of 86 seconds as the Penmen trimmed their deficit to 6-2. He fed Keifer Heckman for his 10th goal of the year with 6:56 remaining and then scored his 13th with 5:30 left.

Jenkins pushed the margin back to six with a pair of goals over the final 3:09 of the half. He gave the Dolphins a 7-2 lead with 3:09 remaining by finishing off a pass from Jackson and then scored off a feed from Taylor with 1:27 to go.

Le Moyne scored five times over the first 8:45 of the third quarter to blow the game open. Jenkins started the streak with an unassisted goal at the 12:09 mark and then scored his fifth goal of the game off a pass from sophomore midfielder Bailey Wilkinson (Black River, N.Y./Carthage) with 10:49 to go. Kline extended the lead to 11-2 with his fifth goal of the season with 8:01 left, while Jackson finished off a pass from junior midfielder Brian Rogers (Clifton Park, N.Y./Shenendehowa) with 6:21 remaining to force a SNHU timeout. Off the ensuing faceoff, freshman faceoff specialist Zac Cooley (Webster, N.Y./Pittsford) scooped up the ball and raced up field before flicking a shot into the back of the net for his first career goal.

Devin Calkins snapped Le Moyne's run with a rebound goal with 2:32 left, but the Dolphins scored twice over the final 1:42 of the quarter to take a 15-3 lead into the final stanza. In an extra-man situation, Kesselring rifled in a shot for his 12th tally of the season with 1:42 left. Just 47 seconds later, he scored again after collecting a pass in front of the net from senior attackman Pat Nowak (Hamburg, N.Y./Hamburg).

The teams traded goals in the fourth quarter. Freshman attackman Ryan Cosgrove (Churchville, N.Y./Churchville-Chili) gave the Dolphins a 16-3 lead with his second goal of the season with 11:01 left. Chris West answered with his second goal of the year off a pass from Daniel Trainor with 9:27 to go. Kelleher notched Le Moyne's final goal of the game with 7:01 to play after taking a pass from sophomore attackman Greg White (Buffalo, N.Y./Nichols School). As the final expired, Will Thompson slipped a shot into the back of the net for the game's final tally.

Redshirt senior goalkeeper Alex Krawec (Kirkville, N.Y./East Syracuse-Minoa) registered 13 saves (against three goals) over 48:54 between the pipes to earn his 19th straight regular-season victory. Michael Brawley turned away eight shots in the loss for the Penmen.

Le Moyne (7-0, 3-0 NE-10) returns to action on Tuesday at The College of Saint Rose at 4:30 p.m. The game is the 16th contest of the year in the year-long "Upstate Challenge" between the two institutions and is worth one point. The Dolphins and Golden Knights are currently tied 6-6 lead through the first 12 sports.
