NEWBURGH, N.Y. – Freshman attacker Shaun McMahon (Commack, N.Y.) scored six times, but it was not enough to fuel the Knights to victory as the Mount Saint Mary College men's lacrosse team (3-8, 1-4 Skyline) fell to Richard Stockton College (12-3, 3-1 Skyline), 13-7, in Skyline Conference play Saturday afternoon at Kaplan Field.

The Knights opened the fourth with three-straight goals, two by McMahon and another by junior midfielder David Hobbs (Baldwin, N.Y.), to cut the deficit to four goals.
