BEVERLY, Mass. – The Endicott men's lacrosse team will host Roger Williams University this Wednesday at 7 p.m. in the Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) Tournament semifinals at Hempstead Stadium.
THE MATCHUP: In their only meeting earlier this season, Endicott junior attackman Will Jennings (Danvers, Mass.) potted the game-winning goal at the 2:53 mark of overtime to lift the Gulls past Roger Williams University, 9-8.
In a defensive-minded, possession-based game, Jennings led all goal scorers with three markers on the day. Colin Bannon (Westport, Conn.) added two goals and also dished out three assists for a game-high five points, while Peter Field Jr. (Hampstead, N.H.) also registered a pair of goals in the win. Thomas Harvey (Hungtington, N.Y.) and Matthew Faucher (Western Springs, Ill.) rounded out the scoring list for the Gulls with one goal apiece.
