Box Score BRISTOL, R.I. - The Roger Williams University Men's Lacrosse team won its sixth straight contest Saturday afternoon with a 13-9 victory over the University of New England.
 
The win keeps the Hawks undefeated in the Commonwealth Coast Conference at 3-0, as well as 7-3 overall. UNE falls to 6-5 and 1-1 in the CCC.
 
Roger Williams began the game holding the Nor'Easters scoreless in the first quarter. Will Siefert (Duxbury, Mass.) and John Lisitano (Guilford, Conn.) each scored in the period to give RWU an early 2-0 lead.

Ryan McNabb (Westford, Mass.) regained the lead for RWU with 11:57 left on a man-up goal before Dan Auger (Nashua, N.H.) tied the game back up two minutes later. Roger Williams would then close out the period on a 4-1 run to take a three-goal lead into halftime.
 
From there, the Hawks maintained the lead throughout the remainder of the game. The turning point came in a three-minute stretch in the third period where the Hawks scored four unanswered goals to take a 12-5 lead with 7:29 left in the third quarter.
 
Though UNE would outscore Roger Williams 4-1 over the remainder of the game, the deficit proved to be too much as RWU held on for the win.
