THROGGS NECK, NY – There were six ties and three lead changes in the Maritime College men's lacrosse team's matchup with Geneseo on Saturday.  A Ryan Hannaford (Bayport, NY) goal brough the Privateers (2-3) within 10-9 midway through the third quarter, but the Knights (2-3) ended the period with three straight tallies to open up a 13-9 advantage in an eventual 14-11 victory at Reinhart Field.

After Maritime jumped out to a 2-0 lead on goals by Michael Weigand (Massapequa, NY) and Nick LiPuma (Bayport, NY), Geneseo scored three straight to go in front.  Thomas McCarvil (Port Washington, NY) tied it with 1:42 left in the first quarter before assisting on Hannaford's man-down tally that gave the Privateers a 4-3 edge as time expired in the period.  Hannaford broke a 6-6 deadlock with 9:13 remaining until halftime, but the Knights' Jake Perinchief responded with back-to-back tallies, including one at the 43-second mark to put Geneseo in front, 8-7 at the break.
