EASTON, Pa. – The Lafayette men's lacrosse team captured its third-straight win against Binghamton (19-12) Saturday afternoon at Fisher Stadium.

Lehman opened the scoring in the second quarter with back-to-back goals assisted by sophomore Aidan Kopen and Cunniffe. Liam Ferris responded two minutes later for Binghamton, cutting the Bearcats' deficit to six goals (8-2). Two more goals each from Mathes and Cunniffe handed the Maroon and White a 12-5 lead at the intermission.

The Leopards outscored Binghamton 3-2 in the third quarter. Cunniffe found the back of the net first, but consecutive goals from Ferris and Collin Delay on an extra-man opportunity brought Binghamton within six goals (13-7).

The Bearcats outscored Lafayette 5-4 in the final quarter, but three important saves by sophomore goalie Joe Doherty kept Binghamton from completing the comeback. Doherty finished the contest with 15 saves.
