In a battle of undefeated juggernauts, the No. 17\/16 Boston University men’s lacrosse team kept on rolling with a 12-7 thrashing of Bucknell Saturday evening.<\/p>\n

BU (5-0, 2-0 PL) is now one of four remaining undefeated teams in NCAA Division I, joined by perennial powerhouses No. 1 Maryland, No. 2 Virginia, and No. 4 Cornell.<\/p>\n

“Just really proud of my team… Well coached, [Bucknell] came in second in goals for, so we knew there was gonna be a challenge,” BU head coach Ryan Polley said.<\/p>\n

The Bison (5-1, 0-1 PL) managed 19 shots on goal, but BU senior goalkeeper Matt Garber stood strong in net, making 12 saves in addition to snagging five ground balls.<\/p>\n

“Garber was incredible again, he’s really playing at another level,” Polley said. “I can’t say enough great things about him.”<\/p>\n

BU’s offense was once again spearheaded by the trio of Vince D’Alto, Timmy Ley, and Louis Perfetto. Ley led all players with five points, and D’Alto completed a hat trick to continue his season streak of five straight.<\/p>\n

The Bison were led by freshman attackman Connor Davis, who managed three goals and four points.<\/p>\n

“They’ve got a couple of really strong freshman, Davis got three goals in the first half, but we were able to shut him down in the second,” Polley noted.<\/p>\n

Perfetto opened up the scoring for the Terriers less than a minute into the game, as BU erupted for five more goals in the first frame to give them a comfortable 6-2 lead after one.<\/p>\n

Bucknell managed to narrowly win the second quarter, netting three goals to BU’s two. Two of Bucknell’s goals came on a three-minute non-releasable penalty assessed to senior midfielder Jett Dziama for an illegal stick.<\/p>\n

BU held the Bison scoreless during the third quarter, despite taking two penalties late which threatened to derail their momentum.<\/p>\n

Bucknell would only score twice in the final frame, as the Terriers coasted to a comfortable win amid a rain-drenched Nickerson Field.<\/p>\n

BU will hope to continue their undefeated season with a visit to Worcester to take on Holy Cross next Saturday. Opening face-off is scheduled for 1 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
