Men’s Lacrosse Pulls Away From Wentworth On Senior Day, 20-5

BEVERLY, Mass. — The Endicott men's lacrosse team defeated Wentworth, 20-5, in conference action on Saturday afternoon at Hempstead Stadium.

Prior to the game, Thomas Barker (Needham, Mass.), Daniel Burger (Rockville Centre, N.Y.), Jackson Burns (Salem, N.H.), Ethan Cupples (Marshfield, Mass.), Jack Dagata (Branford, Conn.), Nick DiSalvo (Narragansett, R.I.), Guerin Favreau (Woodstock Valley, Conn.), Cam Fernandez (Mendham, N.J.), Jack Fiorillo (Mineola, N.Y.), Colt Green (Honeoye Falls, N.Y.), and Dillon Moriarty (Wilbraham, Mass.) were all honored for their contributions to the program and the Endicott College community.

Nick Graap (Yorktown Heights, N.Y.) and Matt Wright (Oregon City, Ore.) scored five goals each to fuel the offense.

Favreau, Manny Marshall (Chelmsford, Mass.), and Tommy Tyksinski (Guilderland, N.Y.) all found the back of the net twice, while Barker, Fernandez, Brody MacDonald (Hanson, Mass.), and Brendan Batchen (Buffalo, N.Y.) chipped in with solo tallies.

In goal, Christopher Tillotson (Monroe, Conn.) earned the start and made a career-high 16 saves (19 on target) in the opening 30 minutes of action (7-1 overall this season).

Teagan Alexander (Foxboro, Mass.) and Zachary Licavoli (East Setauket, N.Y.) closed out the second half between the pipes (2 saves, 18:56 | 0 saves, 11:04). 

Leading 6-3 with 6:08 remaining in the second quarter, the Gulls produced a 10-0 scoring run and never looked back the rest of the way. 

Wright started the scoring frenzy with 4:47 left to play in the first half, while Graap's 34th tally of the season at 2:02 in the third ended the run, which lasted nearly 18 minutes of game time. 

Wentworth potted the first goal of the contest at 4:08 (man-up), snapping Endicott's five-game streak of scoring first in conference matchups this season, but it was all Gulls after that.

Endicott outscored the Leopards 6-2 from that point on before rattling off 10 unanswered strikes to put the game away.
