BIDDEFORD, Maine -- The University of New England men's lacrosse team jumped out to a 15-1 lead early in the third quarter on its way to a 20-9 non-conference victory over Plymouth State University in a non-conference match played in frigid conditions Sunday afternoon (Mar. 5) at the Big Blue Turf.

The Nor'easters led 4-1 after one quarter and scored all six goals of the second to establish a 10-1 advantage heading into intermission. They would outscore the Panthers 10-8 after halftime for the final margin of 11 goals.

Starting goalkeeper David Pearson made 10 saves in 55:48 of action to earn the win. Sean Conger (SR/Holden, Mass.) won 8 of 14 face-offs to aid the attack. Auger added three assists to his three-goal performance to record a six-point afternoon.

Long-stick midfielder Adam Haversat had a strong game for Plymouth State, racking up eight ground balls and four caused turnovers. Kyle Stockman won 15 of 25 draws. Goalkeepers Jayson LaRiviere and Charlie Harrington each played a half and totaled nine stops.
