BOSTON, Mass. – Sophomore Dolan McCarthy (Hyde Park, Mass.) scored four of his game-high five goals in the first half as the Wentworth Institute of Technology men's lacrosse team jumped out to a 9-2 lead after the first 30 minutes of action and never looked back, en route to a 12-3 win over Emerson in non-conference action Saturday afternoon.

Freshman Ben Coakley (Flemington, N.J.) had a goal and two assists as the Leopards closed out the quarter on a 4-0 run with McCarthy, sophomore Kyle Doner (Lindenhurst, N.Y.), and senior Kevin Butler (Jefferson, Mass.) also scoring goals.

Radenberg brought Emerson to within 5-2 on a goal 4:16 into the second quarter, however, Wentworth held Emerson scoreless over the next 27:10 and increased its lead to 11-2.
