Score: College of Saint Rose 13, Southern New Hampshire University 10
Records: SNHU 4-8 (2-7 Northeast-10), CSR 6-7 (5-4 Northeast-10)
Senior Zach Tanner (Woburn, Mass.) tied a career-high and registered a game-high five points on Wednesday, but a late three-goal run propelled the College of Saint Rose past the Southern New Hampshire University men's lacrosse team, 13-10, in Northeast-10 Conference action at Penmen Stadium.
Tanner netted four goals and assisted on a fifth for SNHU, while senior Corey Cairo (Shoreham, N.Y.) and junior Tom Schutz (Trumbull, Conn.) each added a goal and an assist. Jordyn Marchiano matched Tanner with four goals and a helper for the Golden Knights, and Matt Graham chipped in with a hat trick and an assist of his own.
After trailing, 9-6, entering the fourth quarter, the Penmen used a three-goal burst to knot the score at nine apiece. Schutz opened the frame with his 17thof the year off a feed from Cairo at 3:38 before a man-up marker from Tanner trimmed the deficit to one with 9:41 remaining. Freshman Mason Barchard (Chester, N.H.) leveled the score just over a minute later, and after Saint Rose reclaimed a one-goal edge with 7:36 to play, Tanner's fourth of the day evened things up at 10 with just under seven minutes left in regulation.
The remainder of the fourth belonged to the Golden Knights, as they found the back of the cage three times in a 3:14 span to put the game out of reach. Jack Pemrick started the spurt with his eighth at 10:46 before he set up Graham for an insurance tally with 1:22 to go. John Loughlin capped the game's scoring with one minute showing on the clock to give Saint Rose the 13-10 triumph.
Southern New Hampshire raced out to an early lead when freshman Cole Jacobsen (Dartmouth, Mass.) cashed in a feed from Tanner just over a minute into the contest. After Marchiano drilled home his first of the afternoon, senior Chris West (Albany, N.Y.) skipped in his seventh of the year with two minutes left in the stanza.
It would be the final lead the Penmen would hold, as Marchiano's second of the frame sparked a three-goal run that spanned into the second quarter and put Saint Rose in front, 4-2. Tanner reduced the deficit to a single goal with his 16thof the season at 11:09 of the second, but Marchiano completed his hat trick with two ticks to go before the half, and the Golden Knights carried a 5-3 advantage into the intermission.
After Marchiano tacked on his fourth of the contest less than a minute into the third, the Penmen roared back with a three-goal barrage to make it six-all with 3:49 left in the frame. Redshirt-freshman Jayden Jean (Malden, Mass.) started the run with his second of the season at 6:42 before Cairo and Tanner went back-to-back at 9:20 and 11:11. The stalemate would be short-lived, however, as Saint Rose closed out the quarter with three consecutive markers to take a 9-6 edge into the fourth.
Notes:
- Southern New Hampshire outshot Saint Rose, 41-31, which included an 11-6 edge in the fourth quarter. The Penmen put 31 of their attempts on the frame while the Golden Knights had 21 shots end up on the cage.
