BOSTON, Mass. – Brendan Kroll scored four goals and added two assists while Tyler Longo added two goals and four assists as the Wentworth Institute of Technology men's lacrosse team rolled to a 15-1 win over the University of New England in Conference of New England play.

With the win the Leopards, winners of six straight, up their record to 9-2 overall and 2-0 in CNE play while the Nor'Easters fall to 4-7 (0-3).

HOW IT HAPPENED:

  • The lone goal of a defensive-minded first quarter came on an unassisted marker from Longo at 11:19 of the quarter.
  • Wentworth broke the game open with a six-goal second quarter. Kobi Buffa got things started with a man-up goal 1:45 into the contest. Connor Charron won the ensuing faceoff and found Kroll for a goal just seconds later. Erik Vogt (7:43) and Drew Bouley (7:00) scored 43 seconds apart to give the hosts a 5-0 lead.

  • Kroll scored the first two goals of the third quarter before Gabe Cobham and Vogt each scored, pushing the lead to 11-0 after three quarters of action.
  • Vogt (11:01) and Buffa (8:46) put Wentworth ahead 13-0 before UNE's Hogan Corona broke the shutout bid with 6:29 left. Longo added a man-up goal with 2:25 left and Vogt added a late goal to round out the scoring.
  • Vogt scored five points on four goals and an assist while Buffa had three goals and an assist, Bouley finished with a goal and two assists and, in the process, became the seventh player in program history to eclipse the 150-point mark for his career.
