FINAL SCORE
Monmouth 9 (3-1)

STATEN ISLAND, NY – Wagner pulled within one goal early in the third quarter, but the Monmouth University men's lacrosse team scored the final four goals in a 9-4 win on Tuesday afternoon at Hamline Stadium.
 
Ty Caffarelli continued the strong start to his career with a season-high four goals to lead Monmouth's offensive effort, while the defensive performance of four goals allowed was the program's best since 2018.

NOTES & QUOTES
"Playing our fourth game in the last eleven days has been a grind but our seniors have been playing really well and have done a great job keeping us on track. It was another strong performance from the defense and offensively we played smart in the fourth quarter to put them away. We have one more quick turnaround this week as we are back at it on Saturday at Mount St. Mary's."
