BIDDEFORD, Maine -- Andrew Curro (SR/Niskayuna, N.Y.) scored with 3:39 remaining [WATCH] to give the University of New England an exciting 8-7 come-from-behind win over Colby College in non-conference men's lacrosse action Tuesday evening (Mar. 7) at the Big Blue Turf. 

The Nor'easters won for the fourth time in four starts to improve to 4-0 for the first time since the 2012 season. Colby dropped its second one-goal decision to fall to 0-2. The victory pushed head coach Charlie Burch's career win total to 42, making him the winningest coach in the history of the program.

Curro's game-winner capped a fourth-quarter comeback for the Nor'easters, who saw themselves down by two (7-5) heading into the final frame. Dan Auger (SR/Nashua, N.H.) notched a pair of man-up goals to tie the game for UNE and set the stage for Curro. [WATCH-1/WATCH-2]

Trailing 5-3 at halftime, Colby asserted itself in the third quarter outshooting UNE 14-5 to score four unanswered goals and take a 7-5 advantage into the pivotal fourth frame.
