career-high six goals to lead the University of Massachusetts to a 21-9
victory over Rutgers in ECAC Lacrosse action this afternoon at Richard F.
Garber Field. The Minutemen secured the ECAC Lacrosse title outright with
the victory, finishing with a perfect 5-0 record in the league and an 11-3
overall record.
No. 7 Massachusetts broke open a close game at the half with a season-high
11 goals in the third quarter. The Minutemen held a 7-4 halftime lead, but
dominated the third quarter to take control of the game. Massachusetts
outshot Rutgers, 20-5, and won 11 of 14 faceoffs in the quarter. The
Minutemen were paced by the scoring of Morley, who had three of his six
goals during the third quarter. Sophomore Kevin Glenz (Merrick, N.Y.) and
freshmen Gene Tundo (Orchard Park, N.Y.) and Craig Conn (St. Catherines,
Ontario) all had a pair of goals during the Minuteman run.
Each team scored three goals a piece in the fourth quarter to close the
game. Morley led all scorers with six goals, followed by juniors Kevin
Leveille (Delmar, N.Y.) and Chris Fiore (Freeport, N.Y.), who each had two
goals and two assists. Senior Dan Paccione (Amityville, N.Y.) and sophomore
Jeff Zywicki (Nepean, Ontario) both had a goal and three assists, while
Glenz finished the game with three goals, and sophomore Neil Lundberg
(Bloomfield Hills, Mich.) had two goals and an assist.
Jeffrey Duca led the way for Rutgers with three goals and an assist and John
Flanagan added a pair of goals. Freshman goaltender Bill Schell (Mahopac,
N.Y.) made six saves in the cage for the Minutemen, while Rutgers goaltender
Chris Kenyon made 13 saves. Massachusetts ends the regular season with an
11-3 overall record, while Rutgers finishes at 2-12 overall and 0-5 in the
ECAC.
Massachusetts, which receives the ECAC Lacrosse League¹s automatic bid to
the NCAA Tournament, will learn were it will be playing in the first round
when the NCAA selection show is televised live at 6:30 p.m. tomorrow. The
show will be aired on Empire Sports (channel 626 on DirecTV).
This is the first time Massachusetts has recorded back-to-back double-digit
win seasons since doing it in 1988, 1989 and 1990. This year, the Minutemen
will be making their 14th all-time NCAA Tournament appearance and first
since 1997.
