Newton Centre, MA - Four Mustang Men's Lacrosse players scored two goals a piece in a 14-1 rout against North Atlantic Conference (NAC) opponent Daniel Webster College this Wednesday at Mount Ida Athletic Field.

The Eagles would finally get on the board, their only score of the contest, in the opening thirty ticks of the second half on a goal by junior Ryan Manning (Newport, NH/Kimball Union) making it 8-1.

That would be the visitors only score, while Mount Ida piled on seven more goals to take the 14-1 victory. Freshman Paul Battipaglia (Clinton, CT/Morgan), sophomore John Perez (Dorchester, MA/Wayland), Savage and Rozio would all net two each in the win.
