"As I told the staff early in the week, we want to end the day with one more than they do," said head coach Mike Mahoney. "Considering we had not been outside on a full field until this trip,  I was really proud of the resiliency and toughness from the guys to find a way. We will obviously learn a ton from this experience and continue to get better. All in all, both teams battled really hard for 60+ minutes."

"Thank you so much to all the families and the overwhelming alumni support who made the day very special!"

Thomas Labbe and Gagnon led the Golden Bears with three goals each, while Ryan Quinlan picked up a team-best six ground balls.

Michael Marinello recorded 11 saves in the win, while Braden Civiello tallied four for Western New England.

Western New England led 22-16 in shots on goal, while each team each recorded one goal on the man-up ride.

The win put the Saints at 1-0 to start the season, while WNE moved to 0-1.

St. Lawrence will travel to Cortland to take on the Red Dragons on Saturday, February 22.
