Connecticut College Too Strong For Men's Lax

BOX SCORE

NEW LONDON, Conn.--Steve Dachille (Garden City, N.Y.) exploded with six of his eight goals in the first half of play as Connecticut College (3-4) put an end to its three-game slide with a 22-5 victory against Babson College (1-6) in New London Wednesday. Dachille matched a single-game scoring record that was set by Parker Sides '00 in March of 1998.  The junior quad-captain buried his 70th collegiate score in the second half of play.

Ryan Hayes (Darien, Conn.) racked up six points for the hosts with three goals and three assists in the triumph. Junior Sean Driscoll (Peabody, Mass.) netted two goals and assisted on three others in a five-point day.  Eric Doran (Pennington, N.J.) had a productive afternoon, assisting on three of Dachille's goals in the first half.

Mark Mangano (Basking Ridge, N.J.) chipped in with a pair of first-half tallies for the Camels, who held a 46-to-30 advantage in shots. Chuck Czerkawski (Cohasset, Mass.) collected a game-high 11 groundballs and was victorious on 11-of-16 face-offs.

Babson College senior E.J. Peterson (Framingham, Mass.) scored his team-leading 18th goal of the season in the setback. Senior Matt Enright (Bristol, R.I.) corralled five ground balls to go with a goal for the Beavers.

Dachille netted two quick goals in the opening 2:25 of regulation. Driscoll and Mangano accounted for the next two scores and the Camels had a 4-0 lead. Babson got on the board at the 5:32 mark. Peterson made a nifty little wrap around move from behind the cage for the score to make it a 4-1 contest.

Doran's open field vision and smart decision making led to the fifth goal. Babson was trying to induce a turnover with a double team but Doran was able to break the defensive trap with a feed to Dachille for his third goal of the quarter and the Camels carried a 5-1 lead after one.

The Camels scored the first four goals of the second quarter to break the game wide open. Doran assisted Dachille for a score at the 13:13 mark. With 10:08 remaining, the Camels were able to break a Babson clearing attempt with a strong ride. Dachille made an on-ball check for the ball and Ryan Hayes (Darien, Conn.) was able to come away with the ground ball. He snapped off a pass to Brendan Moses (Medfield, Mass.) who found the back of the net to make it a 7-1 contest. Hayes followed with the next goal before Dachille extended the lead to 9-1 by capping the rally with his fifth goal at the 7:16 mark.

The Camels scored two of the next three goals to take an 11-2 lead into the break. Connecticut College opened the second half with seven unanswered markers to extend their advantage to 18-2. Dachille tied the school record with 6:18 left in the quarter. It was more than enough as the Camels continued to pull away in the 22-5 win.

Mike Saucier (Nashua, N.H.) made three saves in the start for the Beavers. Senior Max Owen (Hamilton, N.J.) stopped seven shots in 50:50 of action for Babson.

Junior net-minder Mark Moran (Greenwich, Conn.) had five saves in the first half action for Connecticut College. Rob Moccia (Malvern, Pa.) made one save in the third quarter of action. John Lenehan (Hingham, Mass.) contributed with four saves in the first half of the fourth quarter and Neil Scott (Paoli, Pa.) closed out the contest by making one stop.
