MEN'S LACROSSE DEFEATS SAINT ANDREW'S 8-3 

ANNAPOLIS, MD - Bryan Kaufmann and Kevin Hoagland each scored a pair of goals as the Bryant University men's lacrosse team picked up an 8-3 win over Saint Andrew's Saturday afternoon at the U.S. Naval Academy.  The win improves the Bulldogs' record to 2-1 on the season heading into Tuesday's game against Queen's College (NC). 

Looking to bounce back from last Saturday's loss at C.W. Post, the Bulldogs broke open a 1-1 game with four goals in the second quarter to take a 5-1 lead into the locker room at the break. Goalie Michael Kennedy played a strong game in net for the Bulldogs as the senior preseason All-American made 12 saves while allowing just three goals on the afternoon.

Sophomore Bryant Amitrano and freshmen Gary Crowley and Connor Hayes each had a goal in the victory.
