BIDDEFORD, Maine -- The University of New England men's lacrosse team rallied in the fourth quarter to force overtime, but it was the visiting Roger Williams University Hawks who came away victorious when Caleb McKeown notched the game-winner for an 8-7 Conference of New England decision on Senior Day Saturday afternoon (Apr. 18) at Blue Bolt Field.

An intercepted pass by Alex Daigneault in the midfield set up McKeown, who raced in from the right side and rifled a shot into the net with just over a minute remaining in the overtime period.

The Nor'easters had trailed 7-5 midway through the fourth quarter before Stephen Fogarty (6:39 remaining) and Shea Fogarty (3:29) scored back-to-back to tie the score 7-7 and necessitate extra time. 

UNE had several defensive stops in overtime, including a big save by goalkeeper Christian Berluti early in the period, but were never able to mount an attack and get a shot off.

Preston Briggs notched a game-high three goals to pace the Nor'easter offense. Stephen Fogarty finished with two markers, while Shea Fogarty and David Wilcox wrapped up UNE's scoring list. Kyle Dunn assisted on two of the goals.

For the Hawks (7-9, 5-3 CNE), McKeown and Harrison Steffens highlighted RWU's scoring output with two goals apiece.

The box score displayed a great deal of parity, with UNE leading in shots (39-31) and the Hawks holding narrow advantages in ground balls (41-38) and faceoffs won (11-8). Roger Williams turned the ball over 31 times compared to the Nor'easters' 29.

Chris Gottlieb was a major contributor for UNE, finishing with five ground balls and three caused turnovers. Shea Fogarty led the squad with six ground balls, and Eben Fagonde contributed three caused turnovers. Berluti finished with eight saves.

David Rizzo won 11 of 18 draws and scooped up a match-best seven ground balls for the Hawks. Kyle Zirn had four of the team's 17 caused turnovers.

The Nor'easters (5-11, 2-6) conclude their regular season Wednesday whey they head to Wenham, Mass. to take on Gordon College for a 7 p.m. contest.
