ASHKELON, Israel -- University of New England graduate Ben Herman scored three goals to help the Birthright/USA All-Star Team to a 13-12 win over the Israel Men's National Team in a lacrosse exhibition game played last Wednesday (June 25).

The match concluded a three-game tour for the American all-star team, which competed in Israel on a Taglit-Birthright trip versus that country's national team.

Herman, who was named the game's Most Valuable Player, tallied the first of his three markers in the first quarter to give the Birthright/USA All-Stars the lead (2-1) for good.

Earlier in the day, the Birthright/USA All-Star Team had conducted lacrosse clinics at three local Israeli schools. For the trip the squad posted a 2-1 record with a 15-14 overtime win June 20 in Ramla and a 10-8 setback June 19 in Rehaniya.

A 2013 graduate who was a three-year member of the Nor'easters' roster, Herman played a total of 52 contests in a UNE uniform.
