BABSON PARK, Mass.—Junior Tim Cozens (Ridgefield, Conn.) scored a man-up goal 1:00 into overtime as visiting Springfield College defeated Babson College, 10-9, in New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) men's lacrosse action on Saturday afternoon at MacDowell Field.

Babson, which has dropped five straight games, falls to 1-7 overall and 0-1 in conference play, while Springfield moves to 3-6 overall and 1-0 in the NEWMAC.

Sophomore Axel Brown (Little Compton, R.I.) led all players with three goals, while classmate Austin Fabel (East Rockaway, N.Y.) scored twice for the Beavers. Junior Matthew Logan (Downingtown, Pa.) contributed a pair of assists, and sophomore Jack O'Donoghue (Scituate, Mass.) scooped up a career-high nine ground balls. Junior Zach Cattaruzza (Guilford, Conn.) added six ground balls and caused a career-best seven turnovers in the loss.

Cozens was one of four players to score twice for the Pride, which got two goals and one assist apiece from senior Dylan Sheehan (Massapequa, N.Y.) and junior Dom Abate (Beverly, Mass.). First-year Tyler Heckmann (Brookfield, Conn.) won 17-of-20 face-offs and tied for game-high honors with nine ground balls.

The teams traded a pair of first-quarter tallies before Springfield took the biggest lead of the game on back-to-back goals by Abate at 4-2 with 8:25 to go in the second quarter. The Green and White got within one on the first of Fabel's two markers 3:04 before the break, and then pulled even on Brown's man-up goal just under three minutes into the third period.

Brown converted a feed from senior Brendan Coan (Towson, Md.) to tie the game at 5-5 at the 7:19 mark of the third, and Babson followed a Sheehan tally with goals by sophomore Jason Cox (Westwood, Mass.) and Fabel in the final 28 seconds of the stanza to go back in front 7-6. Pride senior Kevin Dean (Westhampton, N.Y.) tied the game with a man-up tally at 9:20 of the fourth, but the Beavers regained the lead 19 seconds later as senior Spencer Low (Natick, Mass.) scored following a scramble off the face-off to make it 8-7.

The Green and White was unable to score on a pair of man-up chances after going back in front, and Springfield took advantage when Sheehan tied things up with 1:58 left in regulation. Sophomore goalie Jordan Shapiro (Pleasantville, N.Y.) denied Pride senior Brendan Dooley's (Setauket, N.Y.) shot with just over a minute to go, and sophomore Taylor Segreti (North Potomac, Md.) scored in transition to put Babson back in front 9-8 with 48 seconds left. Springfield won the ensuing face-off and Dean notched the tying goal with 10.3 seconds remaining in regulation to force the extra session.

The Pride won the opening face-off of overtime and Cozens scored 23 seconds into a one-minute unnecessary roughness penalty on the Beavers.

Shapiro made seven of his 13 saves in the fourth quarter for Babson, while sophomore Jake Reynolds (Scituate, Mass.) stopped nine shots for Springfield.

The Beavers, who were outshot 45-34, finished with 34 ground balls and went 23-for-27 on clears while forcing the Pride into 20 turnovers.

Babson returns to action on Wednesday when it travels to UMass Dartmouth at 4 p.m., while Springfield visits Mass. Maritime next Saturday at 1 p.m.
