The Stony Brook men's lacrosse continues to motor toward the America East playoffs. The No. 18 Seawolves defeated Binghamton, 22-8, on Friday afternoon at Kenneth P. LaValle Stadium. En route to their sixth straight victory, Mike McCannell tallied a career-high five goals, Matt DeMeo had four and Chris Pickel Jr. and Tom Haun had hat tricks in the victory. Stony Brook rattled off a dozen straight goals at one point while holding the Bearcats scoreless for a 25 minute, 41 second stretch. The goal output marked the most ever in the series against Binghamton, topping a 20-3 win back on March 26, 2002. The output also was the most since posting 25 goals in a victory against Brown on Feb. 25, 2017. Stony Brook never trailed in the game, although Binghamton had pulled within 6-5 on consecutive goals by Thomas Greenblatt early in the second quarter. Pickel then answered with three straight goals himself and the Seawolves (8-3, 6-1 AE) were off to the races. Haun moved into seventh in program history in points with 163, matching Matt Schultz (2013-16). Not only did McCannell produce a career-high goal output, he matched his career high with six points, which he established the previous game, against NJIT. Mike Fiorentino capped the scoring with his first collegiate goal in the final minute. Eleven different Seawolves scored in total. "They have a lot of Island guys. And this was like a return [home] game for them," Pickel said. "Playing an old coach [Larry Kline] — it was nice to see him out there — we were playing with a lot of energy. That's what it came down to. It doesn't matter that I had three goals or Mike had five. "We have a lot of offensive firepower this year. We have 10 guys who are over 10 goals this season. You're not seeing that on pretty much any other team in the country besides us. It's nice that we share the ball, work it around, and we all have our days." Coach Anthony Gilardi was pleased with how the Seawolves responded after a lackluster game last weekend at NJIT. "Especially after Saturday night, we challenged them all week," Gilardi said. "And they responded." Next up: a rematch against UMBC, which handed Stony Brook its lone loss. The defeat came in four overtimes in Baltimore on March 6, in the America East opener. "It's a huge game for us," McCannell said. "We want that game back bad. We're going to be coming out with a lot of energy. That's an important game to us. We want a little redemption."
