BUFFALO, N.Y. – The Medaille College men's lacrosse team squared up with one of the top United East opponents on Senior Day.

The Mavericks fought until the final whistle but were outmatched by the Seahawks, 27-0.

Martin Romero (Syracuse, NY, Henninger) picked up four saves and Newton forced a turnover midway through the quarter. Thomas Shemon (Denville, NJ, Morris Knolls) also forced a turnover for the Mavericks but the St. Mary defense was tough to get past.

Romero picked up a few more saves throughout the game as the Seahawks kept the pressure on. Teddy Kurdziel (Depew, NY, Depew) went in goal at the start of the third quarter and picked up a few great saves. The Mavs forced a clock violation and Max Scott (Batavia, NY, Batavia) and Colton Keane (Lafayette, NY, Lafayette) both fought hard to the net to put shots on goal. Matt Kennedy (Hamburg, NY, Frontier) also took two quick shots in the third quarter but could not beat the Seahawk goaltender. Logan Filipiak (Strykersville, NY, Holland) forced a turnover in the fourth and Kurdziel continued to make saves. The Mavericks kept playing physical to the end.

Keane led the Mavs with two shots on goal and two ground balls while Kennedy had four total shots and one on goal with one ground ball. Newton and Scott each picked up three ground balls and Newton forced a turnover. Romero finished the game with 11 saves while Kurdziel picked up six.
