The #18 Middlebury men's lacrosse team scored five of the first six goals and never looked back in a 14-8 victory over #19 St. Lawrence on Tuesday from Youngman Field at Alumni Stadium.

HIGHLIGHTS

• Charlie O'Connor got the hosts on the board with 1:24 expired, grabbing a feed from Cooper DeMallie and connecting on a jumpshot as the possession clock expired for a 1-0 lead.
• Drew Knight answered at the 5:33 mark with a long-pole goal that skipped past Panther goalie Hayden Kern to knot the game at one apiece.
• Middlebury regained the lead about four minutes later, as Brendan Hickey fired a low-angle shot into the left panel.
• Logan White capped the opening 15 minutes with a tough-angle shot that tucked into the right side of the net off a quick flip from Ryan McGloin with one second remaining, extending the advantage to 3-1.
• DeMallie (13:09) and White (12:40) commenced the second frame with consecutive goals 29 ticks apart to make the score 5-1.
• Asa Beach cut the deficit to three on a bid that snuck into the top-right corner at the 9:32 mark.
• The Panthers kept the offense rolling, tallying three of the half's final four markers to take an 8-3 lead into the locker room. White capped the jolt by muscling through three Saint defenders and depositing a shot into the left panel with 24 seconds left.
• Ethan Friedberg tried to get the Saints' attack rolling just 27 ticks into the third, cutting into the Middlebury defense and tucking the ball inside the left post for an 8-4 contest.
• The hosts embarked on another decisive run following Friedberg's tally, netting five unanswered to rebuild a 13-4 lead. Will Ford capped the spurt with a double-clutching shot that found the left panel with 6:15 left in the third.
• St. Lawrence ended the contest with four of the final five tallies, but the Panthers fended off their foe to claim the six-goal victory.

• Ryan Colella and Drew Dummer tied for the team lead with three caused turnovers.
