The Bryant University men's lacrosse benefitted from eight goal scorers – including five multi-goal scorers – in a 13-8 win over Hobart Saturday on Senior Day at the Bryant Track & Turf Complex. Junior Kevin Quigley (Fairfax Station, Va.), redshirt-sophomore Jake Buonaiuto (Miller Place, N.Y.) and sophomore Trevor Weingarten (Allendale, N.J.) each had two goals and an assist for the Bulldogs, who kept themselves in contention for the No. 1 seed in the Northeast Conference tournament. That will be determined by the result – and potentially the score – of next Saturday's Robert Morris-Saint Joseph's game. GAME INFORMATION Bryant 13, Hobart 8 Records: Bryant (7-6, 5-1 NEC), Hobart (4-9, 1-4 NEC) Location: Bryant Track & Turf Complex (Smithfield, R.I.) COACH PRESSLER'S COMMENTS "It was so imperative for us that this great senior class – these 13 incredible men – go out as winners on their home field in their last regular-season home game, against a Hobart team whose back was against the wall, having to beat us to get into the NEC tournament. I was really pleased – our guys had a major league rebound in every phase of our game from the game against Saint Joe's in Philly a week ago." "Kevin Quigley, Trevor Weingarten, Matt Heldberg – our big, physical middies got to the goal, which was key for us. I thought we had a very clean game with only eight turnovers, our lowest of the year. We scored 13 goals and we don't do as well on the face-off as we've done in the past. To win by five at home in the final home game, I couldn't be more pleased. It's a lot of momentum going into Brown on Tuesday." KEY MOMENT Bryant led 4-3 with just over a minute remaining in the first half when senior Tom Kennedy (Farmingdale, N.Y.) scored and then assisted on a goal by freshman Marc O'Rourke (Hingham, Mass.) in the final 1:06 to send Bryant into the half up 6-3. HOW IT HAPPENED Hobart struck first on a Justin Scott goal, which was answered by the first goal of the day from O'Rourke with 3:10 remaining in the first quarter. The game was knotted at one through 15 minutes. Quigley scored six seconds into the second quarter to put Bryant ahead for the first time. Hobart tied the game 2-2 with 11:19 remaining in the half, but Heldberg responded 50 seconds later to put Bryant back on top. The Bulldogs would lead for the remainder of the contest. Quigley doubled the lead at 4-2 with 7:31 to go in the half, but Hobart got back within one just over a minute later. With Bryant leading 4-3, Kennedy scored one goal and assisted on another by O'Rourke in the final 66 seconds of the half to send the Bulldogs into the locker room up 6-3. Weingarten opened the second-half scoring 52 seconds in to push the Bryant advantage to 7-3. The Statesmen broke up the Bulldog run with a goal to cut it to 7-4 with 13:20 remaining in the third quarter. Bryant would score the next three goals, beginning with a Buonaiuto tally to make it 8-4. The Bulldogs would strike again 11 seconds later, as graduate student Kenny Massa (Huntington, N.Y.) won the ensuing face-off to himself and passed it off to senior Cam Ziegler (Carlsbad, Calif.) to push the lead to 9-4 with 10:04 to play in the third quarter. Sophomore Jake Fiske (Poway, Calif.) added to the lead in the third, as the Bulldog LSM streaked down the field and fired one past the Hobart goalie for a 10-4 advantage with 2:52 to go in the third. Hobart would score twice in the final 2:01 of the third quarter to cut the Bryant lead to 10-6 heading to the fourth. The Statesmen would add another just over a minute into the fourth quarter to make it 10-7. Buonaiuto answered 54 seconds after the Hobart goal, and Heldberg 43 seconds after that, as Bryant extended its cushion to 12-7. Hobart would get one back before Weingarten closed out the scoring with his second goal of the day with 3:09 to go. STATS Buonaiuto, Quigley and Weingarten each scored two goals and added an assist, while O'Rourke and Heldberg added two goals apiece. Kennedy, Ziegler and Fiske chipped in a goal each as Bryant had eight goal scorers and five multi-goal scorers. Senior Kyle Cornell (Darien, Conn.) and Massa each tallied an assist. Massa was 10-of-24 on the face-off with six ground balls, two caused turnovers and an assist. Junior Kevin Beimfohr (Mountain Lakes, N.J.) made eight saves on 16 shots and collected five ground balls. Bryant outshot Hobart, 39-31. The Bulldogs held a 24-20 advantage in ground balls. GAME NOTES Bryant improves to 7-4 all-time against Hobart. The Bulldogs are 2-0 this year when losing the face-off battle. Massa was also 10-for-24 Feb. 24 at Hartford – a game the Bulldogs won 15-10. Bryant extended its NEC home winning streak to 11 games and went 3-0 at home in the NEC regular-season slate for the third-straight year. UP NEXT Bryant returns to action Tuesday night with a non-conference game at Brown. The 7 p.m. contest can be seen on the Ivy League Network.
