Box Score CASTINE, Maine – Nicholas Betti and Peter Moore rolled up four goals apiece to lead Maine Maritime to a 12-6 win over Husson in North Atlantic Conference (NAC) men's lacrosse Tuesday evening.
Both teams moved to 4-5 overall on the season. The Mariners' record remains unblemished in league play at 4-0, while Husson dips to 3-2 in NAC competition.
Betti broke the ice in the first quarter, cashing in on an extra-man opportunity 4:52 into the game. It was the first of four EMO goals scored by Maine Maritime in the contest. He struck again with 2:20 left in the opening stanza on a shorthanded effort sandwiched between a pair of Moore tallies that left Maine Maritime with a 5-1 advantage after the first.
As he did in the first quarter, Betti opened the scoring in the second by potting a goal on the extra-man. Bronson Guimond and A.J. Larrabee also scored extra-man goals in the second to go with Betti's final marker of the game to run the lead to 9-3 at the half. Moore scored a pair 56 seconds apart in the third, the second assisted by Guimond, to wrap up his night of scoring.
Guimond finished the evening with a pair of goals and an assist. His EMO tally in the second became the eventual game-winner. Dean Samuelson provided the Mariners with three assists. Larabee added an assist to Mike Fuller's goal that broke a 1-1 tie in the first. That goal sparked the decisive, 5-0 Mariners run.
Husson got four goals from Brandon Corbo, who cashed in twice in the game's final six-minutes. Kevin Nolan offered a pair of assists to the Eagles' effort.
James Wilgus stopped two-thirds of the 18 shots fired in his direction to secure the win, while his counterpart, Tom Lepage, turned away 11 of the 23 shots he faced.
Jack Tragert won 11-of-18 faceoffs and gathered as many ground balls for Maine Maritime. The Mariners ride broke 11 of Husson's 27 clear attempts.
Maine Maritime returns to action on Saturday when the Mariners host Castleton in NAC play. They will close out the home slate on Sunday when Johnson State pays a visit for additional league action.
