UNION, N.J.-The Mount Saint Mary College men's lacrosse team suffered a 16-0 loss to Skyline Conference opponent Kean University on Wednesday night. The loss drops the Knights to 2-10 overall and 0-3 in Skyline play. Kean improves to 7-3 on the season and an unbeaten 2-0 in Skyline play. 

The Cougars wasted no time getting on the board when Justin Lappen won the first face-off and netted an unassisted goal just three seconds into the game. Another goal by Lappen six seconds later gave the Cougars a two goal lead with only nine seconds elapsed in the game. The Knights' adjustments slowed down Kean's offensive production out of the face-off. Kean would go on to score eight goals in the first quarter of play and an additional three in the second quarter and the Mount faced an 11-0 deficit going into halftime. 

The Knights limited the Cougars to just five goals in the second half of play, but unfortunately they could not find the back of the net. Sophomore #Andrew Pullen# (Farmingdale, N.Y.) took a team-high five shots, three of which were on goal. Freshman #Stephen White# (Schenectady, N.Y.) rattled of three shots on goal and grabbed five groundballs. Defensively, the Mount was led by freshman #Matt Buonocore#  with four caused turnovers and three groundballs. Freshman goalkeeper #Shawn Cobstill# (Oneonta, N.Y.) was under pressure all game due to the Cougars' 58 shots. Cobstill finished the game with 17 saves. 

The Mount is seeking their first Skyline Conference win on Saturday, April 9 when they host Mount Saint Vincent. The game is scheduled to start at 7:00 p.m.
