Monmouth Runs Past Wagner to Remain Unbeaten at Home

WEST LONG BRANCH, NJ – Connor Gorman finished with six points, and Brendan Dundas scored three goals as Monmouth University Men's Lacrosse outscored Wagner College 9-3 across the final three quarters in a 12-6 victory Tuesday afternoon at Kessler Stadium.
 
With the game tied at three after the first, MU scored twice in the second, including the first goal of the season from both Jake Schneider and Nick Teets to take a 5-3 lead into the locker room. Connor Macrae opened the second half scoring, but two straight from Wagner cut it to 6-5. The Hawks answered with four in a row and six of the final seven, including Dundas completing his hat trick with Gorman scoring once and assisting on two more in that stretch.

"Today was very big for us, we wanted to bounce back today and protect the turf. We really came out flying, a bit of a slow start but in the second half we really came together, played our game and got the job done." – Sophomore Connor Gorman
