CANTON, N.Y. - St. Lawrence University (SLU) jumped out to a 4-0 lead and then answered a pair of goals by Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) with 11 consecutive of its own as the No. 7 Saints defeated the Engineers 16-4 in a Liberty League men's lacrosse game at North Country Field. SLU improves to 13-1 overall and 5-1 in the conference, while the Engineers fall to 10-4 and 3-3.

The Saints scored seven seconds into the game and then three more times within the next 2:17 for a four-goal margin. The Engineers climbed to within two on goals from sophomore Will Killeen (Islip, NY / Islip) score at 11:21 and classmate JT Kelly (Acton, MA / Acton-Boxborough) less than two minutes later (9:46). Killeen's goal was set up by Zach Lukas, while Kelly's was unassisted on the man-up.
