Box Score

SCHENECTADY, NY – Sophomore attack Rob Santangelo scored twice including the game-winning goal with 3:19 to play to help No. 12 Union men's lacrosse (6-1, 1-0 Liberty League) earn a 7-6 win over St. Lawrence (6-1, 1-1 Liberty League) in its first Liberty League contest of the season at Frank Bailey Field.

Senior attack Ethan Meyer had two goals and senior goalie Sean Aaron made six saves, including a stop in the closing seconds on St. Lawrence's Kyle Jacobson to preserve the victory for the Dutchmen.

Union outshot St. Lawrence 31-19 for the game, as St. Lawrence goalies Jeff Goeke and Jack Nuland combined to make 14 stops in net for the Saints.

With the game tied at 6-6, Santangelo scored from close range with 3:19 to play to give Union the lead once again.
