MANCHESTER, N.H. (April 20, 2008) – Saint Anselm College scored 12 of the first 13 goals of the game as the Hawks defeated the Franklin Pierce University men’s lacrosse team, 12-4, in Northeast-10 Conference action on Sunday afternoon at Melucci Field.

Seniors Tim Rist (South Hadley, Mass./Milton) and Steve Trocki (Braintree, Mass./Boston College High) and junior Matt Surette (Wakefield, Mass./Wakefield) each notched two goals to lead a balanced Saint Anselm attack. Senior Mike McClain (Milton, Mass./Milton) scored once and added two assists for a game-high three points.

Sophomore Lucas Hamory (Canton, Mass./Canton) was the Ravens’ top scorer with two goals on the afternoon, while senior captain Luke Ferreira (Farmington, Maine/Mount Blue) and freshman Jon Martinez (Waterbury Center, Vt./Rice Memorial) each netted one goal.

Trocki began the scoring 6:03 into the first quarter with a man-up goal, and Surette scored the only other goal of the quarter 2:20 later. The lead was 4-0 with 11:44 left in the second quarter when Hamory found the net off an assist by freshman Jack Scanlan (Great Neck, N.Y./Great Neck North), but Saint Anselm outscored Franklin Pierce, 8-0, in the rest of the second quarter and through the third to take control of the game headed into the fourth quarter.

Franklin Pierce scored the only three goals of the final quarter, with Hamory, Ferreira and Martinez each recording one tally, but the Ravens could get no closer than eight.

Saint Anselm freshman Dan Flynn (Wakefield, Mass./Wakefield) started in net for the Hawks and made six saves on seven shots for the win. Fellow freshman Shea Campbell (Centerport, N.Y./Harborfields) stopped 10-of-22 shots for Franklin Pierce in three quarters of action.
