Waltham, Mass. – Attackman Carter Collins (Prior Lake, Minn./Prior Lake/Lindenwood) and midfielder Zach Pierce (Gansevoort, N.Y./Schuylerville/Onondaga C.C.) each recorded five points to lead the second-ranked Le Moyne College men's lacrosse team to a 13-6 win over 16th-ranked Bentley University on Tuesday evening in Northeast-10 Conference action at Bentley Field.

"It was great to see a solid effort at both ends of the field today against a strong Bentley team," said head coach Dan Sheehan.

The Dolphins, who have six wins over ranked opponents, jumped out to a 5-0 lead through the first 12 and one-half minutes. Following a pair of high shots by the Dolphins, graduate student midfielder Ben McCreary (Cicero, N.Y./Christian Brothers Academy) found the back of the net at the 12:10 mark for his 14th goal of the season. Just over two minutes later, Collins tallied his 22nd goal of the campaign off a feed from senior midfielder John Bergan (Camillus, N.Y./West Genesee), who scooped up a ground ball off a saved shot. McCreary pushed the lead to 3-0 with an unassisted marker with 7:44 left in the quarter. Just 24 seconds later, Collins finished off a pass from graduate student midfielder Evan Kelly (Honeoye Falls, N.Y./Aquinas Institute). Bergan completed the streak at the 2:49 mark with his seventh goal of the year off a dish from Collins.

Collins completed his hat trick just before the possession clock expired with 6:50 left in the half.

Bentley countered with back-to-back goals to get back within four. Luke Jaber tallied his 24th goal of the season with 5:48 left off a pass from Baldasaro. Devin Smith then scored his eight goal of the year with 2:46 to go.

Baldasaro answered back with 11:00 left off a feed from Matty O'Brien. Pierce scored his 23rd goal of the year just 24 seconds later to start a 3-0 run. Collins netted his 25th marker of the campaign with 8:44 remaining off a dish from Pierce. Kelly finished off Le Moyne's scoring from the left edge of the crease with 3:56 left following a pass from Andrews.
