Pleasantville, N.Y. – Five Dolphins each scored two goals as the second-ranked Le Moyne College men's lacrosse team registered a 15-4 victory over eighth-ranked Pace University on Wednesday afternoon at Pace Stadium.

The Dolphins jumped out to a 3-0 lead over the first 11 and one-half minutes of the game. Junior midfielder Tom Koster (Cicero, N.Y./Cicero-North Syracuse/Onondaga C.C.) started the scoring at the 10:02 mark with his sixth goal of the year. Sophomore midfielder Dan Entenmann (Auburn, N.Y./Auburn) doubled the lead with 8:23 left in the quarter with his seventh goal of the season. Just under five minutes later, junior attackman Justin Kesselring (Fairport, N.Y./Fairport) found the back of the net for the 23rd time this year.

Liam Brennan got the Setters on the scoreboard with 50 seconds left in the quarter.

After causing a turnover by Brennan with seven seconds left, sophomore defender Zac Prattson (Tolland, Conn./Springfield Cathedral (Mass.)) collected a pass and rifled a shot from 50 yards out into the left side of the net for his first career goal with two seconds to go.

Le Moyne extended its lead to 9-1 with the first five goals of the second quarter. Senior midfielder Brian Rogers (Clifton Park, N.Y./Shenendehowa) ignited the run 73 seconds into the period after taking a pass from freshman midfielder Jake Stowell (Cazenovia, N.Y./Cazenovia). Following an unnecessary penalty on the Setters, senior midfielder Alex O'Brien (Hanson, Mass./Boston College High) netted his second extra-man goal of the year (sixth goal overall) with 12:06 left in the half off a feed from sophomore attackman Jack Vajda (Clinton, N.J./Rutgers Prep). Just 41 seconds later, freshman attackman Riley Larson (Fairfield, Conn./Ludlowe) tallied his seventh goal of the campaign after collecting a pass from Entenmann.
