BOSTON, Mass. - The Emmanuel College Men's Lacrosse Team

The Saints celebrated senior day prior to the start of the
contest, with Emmanuel recognizing the three seniors on the squad,
Eddie Thy
(Portland, Me.), Jeff McMahon
(Madison, Conn.) and Patrick Froass (Oneida, N.Y.).
The defensive battle opened with the visitors going up 2-0 in
the early going, backed by unassisted goals from Brad Peterson (N.
Kingstown, R.I.) and Jason Baker (Billerica, Mass.). The Saints
then responded with a string of three unanswered goals of their
own. The run was sparked by junior midfielder Ted Dimando
(Hampstead, N.H.) scoring off a pass from Jake Pickett
(Stratham, N.H.). Freshman attackman Evan Dolber (Malden,
Mass.) netted a shot off an assist from John Kearns (Cold
Spring, N.Y.) and Thy followed with an assist coming via Josh Condry (Upton,
Mass.).
With the Saints holding a 3-2 edge, Baker netted his second of
four goals on the day, knotting the game at 3-all to end the first
period.
Sophomore captain Brian O'Regan
(Milton, Mass.) found the back of the net with an assist coming off
the stick of Kevin McMichael
(Pompton Plains, N.J.) to give the Saints the lead back to open the
second quarter. Emmanuel scored again, when Jake Jaskolski
(St. Clair Shores, Mich.) got one past Anna Maria goalie Andrew
Ellis (Fitchburg, Mass.) and the Saints held a 5-3 lead at
halftime.
Anna Maria then opened the second half with five-straight
scores, including two from Baker and two from Blake Simpson
(Warwick, R.I.), to surge ahead, 8-5.
Condry would score his 11th goal of the season unassisted with
ten minutes to play and Emmanuel trailed, 8-6. However, the Amcats
got one more on the board, playing a man down, an went back up by
three, 9-6. Jaskolski scored once more for the Saints, but the
final four and half minutes were played scoreless and Anna Maria
held on for the 9-7 win.

(Bedford, N.H.) was impressive in goal all day for the Saints.
Lauzier made 15 saves, including 9 in the second half for Emmanuel.

making 9 stops in the effort.
