Poultney, VT – One day removed from their first conference victory of the season, the Green Mountain College men's lacrosse team ran into a buzz-saw Maine Maritime Academy squad, falling 18-1 in North Atlantic Conference action Sunday afternoon.

The Eagles fall to 1-7 (1-5, NAC) while the Mariners run their record to 6-4 (6-2, NAC).

MMA opened their account three minutes into the first quarter when Christopher Keiley (Holliston, MA) notched the first of his game-high five goals. The Mariners rattled off six more goals over the ensuing eight minutes, claiming a 7-0 advantage heading into the second quarter.

The visitors charged out of the gates in the second fifteen minutes, tallying 10 goals on 17 shots while limiting the Eagles to just four total shots in the quarter. 

GMC finally found the back of the net in the 3rd quarter through Max Talsky (Hanover, NH) who turned in a spectacular individual effort to notch the only goal on the afternoon for the home side. 

The Mariners added one more goal in the 4th quarter, running the final score to 18-1. 

MMA outshot GMC 53-10 and claimed 16-of-22 face-offs on the afternoon.

Keith Drinkwine (Delmar, NY) made 9 saves in the losing effort while Kevin Boucher (Gorham, ME) and Erik Milles (Bangor, ME) splitting time between the pipes for MMA, combining for four saves.

Wade Mondoux (North Berwick, ME) added four goals and went 10-for-13 in the faceoff circle for the visitors while Tom Houle (Manchester, NH) had an outstanding afternoon, notching three goals and four helpers.

The Eagles return to action Tuesday when they head to cross-town rivals Castleton State for a 7:00 pm NAC matchup with the Spartans.
