BABSON PARK -- Nationally-ranked Tufts University scored 12
unanswered goals to break the game open as the visiting Jumbos
defeated host Babson College, 15-4, in a non-conference men's
lacrosse contest at MacDowell Field on Monday afternoon. With the
win, Tufts, second in New England and ninth in the nation, improved
to 6-0 on the spring, while Babson suffered its first defeat in
four games to fall to 4-4 overall.
Juniors Ryan Molloy (Setauket, NY) and
D.J. Hessler (Monkton, MD) paced the Jumbos'
offense, with Malloy tallying four goals and three assists for a
game-high seven points and Hessler tossing in two goals and four
goals for six points. Senior Mike Droesch (Setauket,
NY) added a goal and 11 groundballs while winning 10 of 15
face-offs for Tufts, and junior Bryan Petillo (Holbrook,
NY) made six saves in three quarters in net to earn the
win.
Senior captain Mike Saucier (Nashua, NH) played just under 47
minutes in net for Babson, finishing with 13 saves. Senior Shane
Farrell (West Warwick, RI), freshman Jamie Schmidt (Shelburne, VT),
first-year Alex Patinkin (Providence, RI), and freshman Michael
Griffin (Duxbury, MA) each scored goals for the Beavers, while
juniors Christian Ebert (Boxford, MA.) and Ryan Kucinski (Cohasset,
MA) recorded seven and five groundballs, respectively.
The Beavers played well early on, holding the Tufts' offense to
just three goals in the opening quarter while netting a pair of
their own. However, the Jumbos scored five unanswered goals in each
of the next two quarters and then netted two more to start the
fourth to build a commanding 15-2 advantage. Babson would net the
final two scores of the contest for the 15-4 final.
