BOX SCORE

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Sophomore Jamie Schmidt scored a man-up goal with 2:55 left in the game to lift the Babson College men's lacrosse team to a 10-9 come-from-behind victory at MIT in a huge Pilgrim League contest on Saturday night. With the win, the Beavers (7-5 overall, 2-1 PL) pulled even with the Engineers (4-5 overall, 2-1 PL) in the conference standings and now hold the tie-break advantage for the second seed in the league tournament with two regular season games left to play.

Five unanswered goals by MIT in the third quarter gave the hosts an 8-7 edge, but Babson outscored the Engineers, 3-1, in the final frame to secure the 10-9 victory. The Beavers' Andrew Packer registered a man-up goal at the nine-minute mark of the fourth quarter to tie the score at eight, which was matched by MIT's John Kucharczyk who followed with a man-down tally a minute later. Packer then tallied the equalizer with 5:44 on the clock and earned the assist on Schmidt's extra-man game-winner with 2:55 left in regulation.

Junior Cam Caruso continued his outstanding play of late with three goals, one assist, and four groundballs, while freshman defender Ryan Dawidjan picked up a team-high five groundballs in the victory. Sophomore Alex Patinkin tallied two goals and two assists, Packer contributed two goals and one assist, and sophomore Jay Whalen made seven of his team's eight saves in net.
