PAXTON, Mass. – Freshman Mike Hansen (Rochester, N.Y.) recorded 10 kills on 13 swings for a hitting percentage of .692 to help pace the Wentworth Institute of Technology men's lacrosse team to its fourth straight win, a 3-0 triumph over Anna Maria in Great Northeast Athletic Conference play.
With the win the Leopards improve to 19-7 overall and 8-7 in GNAC play while the AMCats, in their inaugural season, slip to 1-13 (0-9).
