CASTINE—Sophomore goalie Andrew Noyes posted a career-high 21 saves, and freshmen Tobey Lappin and Ryan Dunstan both recorded hat tricks, to lead Maine Maritime Academy to cruise to a 12-3 win over visiting Lasell University in non-conference men's lacrosse action at Ritchie Field on Saturday.

Maine Maritime has put together back-to-back wins to even its overall record to 2-2, while Lasell dips to 1-2 on the season.

Lasell Highlights

How it Happened

• Just like the 22-mile-per-hour westerly winds at game time, MMA breezed by the visitors early and often by jumping out to a 4-0 lead at the end of the first quarter. Dunstan and Lappin provided the spark with man-up goals 1 minute and 51 seconds apart with 6 minutes and 18 seconds left. 
• In the second quarter, Lappin and Spear increased the Mariners' advantage to 6-0 by halftime.
• Trailing 7-0, Jason Martin got Lasell on the scoreboard at the 11:25 mark of the third quarter and Condon scored at 3:32 to make it 7-2.
• The Mariners left no doubt in the fourth when they outscored the Lasers 5-1.
• Marcil wrapped up MMA's scoring with a man-down goal with 4:43 left in the game on a nice feed from sophomore defender Finnian O'Donnell.
• Lasell had advantages in shots (44-34), shots on goal (24-20), clears (18-22/24-34) and ground balls (42-36), but MMA killed off all eight man-up opportunities for the Lasers who were stymied by Noyes all afternoon.
