BUFFALO, NY – The Alfred University men's lacrosse team earned a 21-1 win over non-conference foe, Medaille College Tuesday evening in its first of a five-game road series to end the season.

Tanner Morse (Corning, NY/Corning East) paced the Saxons with six points from five goals and an assist. Jake Lynch (Whitney Point, NY/Whitney Point) had three of the Saxons' (10-1, 3-1 Empire 8) 13 assist and added two goals for a team-second in points of five. Nicolas wood (Canandaigua, NY/Canandaigua) recorded a hat-trick off of 10 shots and added a helper on the evening.

The Saxons kept the Mavericks (2-4, 1-2 NEAC) scoreless for the entire first half while scoring 14 goals themselves despite not lighting up the scoreboard until John Winchell (Vestal, NY/Vestal) passed to Derek Bishopp (Livonia, NY/Livonia) for AU's first goal at the 6:25 mark in the first quarter.

More than half of the Saxons' first half goals were assisted, demonstrating teamwork as nine different players scored and five different players assisted.

The only Medaille goal came at 13:12 in the third quarter from David Groves and was assisted by Lavonte Lee. Alfred University responded and ended the game with a six-goal run that saw two of Morse's goals and three Lynch assists.

Jimmy Pratti (Minisink, NY/Minisink Valley) was near-perfect on faceoffs, winning 16-of-19 while David LaSpina (Webster, NY/Webster Schroeder) won his solo attempt at the mid line and Jack McKeever (Centerreach, NY/Newfield) winning 3-of-5 as well. Pratti also led the game in ground balls with 12 and caused one turnover.

Drew Gardner (Whitney Point, NY/Whitney Point) had the Saxons' only save in goal.

Both teams were tied in the caused turnover category with four each.

The Saxons held a distinct advantage in terms of keeping their guys on the field as only one 30-second penalty was committed by the Road Warriors. The hosts had six penalties that totaled three minutes and gave Alfred the opportunity to cash in with two man-up goals.

The Saxons outshot the Mavs 58-7 (32-2 on goal) and had another strong showing in picking up the loose balls as they out-gathered Medaille 41-25 in ground balls.

The Saxons will next travel to Utica College for Empire 8 action on Saturday, April 11 at 4:00 pm.
