BOX SCORE

MANCHESTER, N.H. - Keith Galante totaled four goals and three assists and Albert Maione added four goals and two assists to lead ninth-ranked Molloy College to a 16-3 men's lacrosse victory over SNHU at Larkin Field Saturday afternoon.  The Lions improved to 2-0 on the season, while it marked the season opener for the Penmen.

Molloy got on the board just 34 seconds into the game on a goal by Maione and never trailed, building a 4-1 lead after one quarter and scoring the first four goals of the second period before Mike Ball (Salem, NH) scored with 1:33 left to cut it to 8-2, which would be the halftime score.  The Lions scored all three goals of the third period and the first three of the fourth.

Tom Brewer had three goals for Molloy, which also got two goals and an assist from Ryan Kudlek and a pair of goals from Matt Dolan.  In addition to Ball, Southern New Hampshire got goals from Brian Nagle (Woburn, MA) and Terrence Nash (Oceanside, NY).

Robert Humann went the distance in goal for Molloy and made 23 saves while SNHU goalie Eric Gunst (Exeter, NH) made 22 saves.  The Lions outshot the Penmen 59-47, and took advantage of 18 SNHU penalties to go 7-17 with the man advantage, while the hosts were 0-5 in man-up situations.

Southern New Hampshire opens Northeast-10 play next Saturday when it entertains Pace for a 1:00 contest at Larkin Field.
