BABSON PARK, Mass.— Senior Terry Li (Los Angeles, Calif.) and graduate student Beau Burns (Washington, D.C.) combined to win 16-of-19 face-offs and scooped up five ground balls each and 12 different players scored goals as No. 5/8 Babson College celebrated Senior Day with a 16-2 victory over Emerson College in New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) men's lacrosse action Saturday afternoon at MacDowell Field.

Babson, ranked fifth in Division III by the US Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA) and eighth by USA Lacrosse Magazine, won its fourth consecutive game to up its record to 12-1 overall and 5-0 in the NEWMAC. Emerson has dropped four in a row to slide to 3-10 overall and 0-5 in the conference.

Graduate student Joey Allen (Philadelphia, Pa.) tallied three goals and an assist, junior Camden Matthews (Westford, Mass.) had two goals and an assist, and grad student Patrick McAleavey (Trumbull, Conn.) and senior Braden Reilly (Reading, Mass.) each contributed a goal and two assists. Senior Drew Scott (Portland, Ore.), junior Theo Breton (Fremont, N.H.) and first-year Josh Queen (Crofton, Md.) all scored their first career goals and sophomore Henry Rome (Chestnut Hill, Mass.) scored his first of the season in the victory. LI was 9-for-11 on face-offs and Burns was 7-for-8 for the Beavers.

Senior Thomas Pozo (Coral Gables, Fla.) and sophomore Liam Donaldson (Westport, Conn.) each caused two ground balls and collected two ground balls in the setback.

The Beavers scored the first five goals before Emerson got on the board late in the first quarter. Senior Jack Feeks (Georgetown, Mass.) started the scoring parade one minute into the game and Reilly followed just 32 seconds later. Matthews and junior Rowan Mondello (Wakefield, Mass.) scored a minute apart midway through the quarter and Allen popped in his first of the game to make it 5-0 before Stern-Hayes got one for Emerson to close out the quarter.

The Green and White outscored the Lions 4-0 in the second quarter as Allen went back-to-back and Matthews notched his second of the game early in the frame, and senior Tyee Ambrosh (Danvers, Mass.) tacked on his second of the season in the final seconds to make it a 9-1 game at the half.

Senior Bennett Smith (Lake Oswego, Ore.) and McAleavey extended the margin to double-digits early in the third quarter before Bradley scored for the visitors. Scott fired in his first career goal late in the third for the Beavers, and reserves Rome, Queen, Breton and sophomore Beck Trafton (Miami Beach, Fla.) closed out the scoring in the fourth quarter.

Both teams used three goalies as sophomore Andrew Almquist (Wakefield, Mass.), first-year Aidan Adams (Hyattsville, Md.), and junior Arthur Peters (Dallas, Texas) combined for 14 saves in the Beaver goal and senior Ethan Corby (Whitby, Ont.), sophomore Jacob Goldberg (Roslyn Heights, N.Y.) and first-year Andrew McKenzie (Laurel, N.Y.) combined for 18 stops in the Lions cage.
