Box Score UNION, N.J. – Boosted by a 9-1 second quarter, Kean University pulled away from Mount Saint Mary College for a 22-8 victory in Skyline Conference action on Saturday.  The Cougars improve to 13-1 overall (4-0 Skyline), while the Knights drop back to 6-7 (1-3 Skyline).

Mount freshman Sebastian Cina Jr. (Colts Neck, N.J.) gave the Knights an early lead with a goal less than two minutes in.  Following three Kean goals, Mount senior Andrew Pullen (Farmingdale, N.Y.) put home a man-up goal to wrap up the first quarter with the Knights trailing, 3-2.
