ALBANY, N.Y. – The UMass Lowell men's lacrosse team was upended by No. 10/9 UAlbany 25-0, Saturday afternoon at John Fallon Field.

"I thought we played tight today and a team of that caliber is going to take advantage," said Head Coach Ed Stephenson. "UAlbany is a very good team and if they continue to improve they can win a national championship."

With the help of four first-period goals by Connor Fields, the Great Danes (7-1, 3-0) built a 9-0 lead after a quarter of play. UAlbany scored three goals in the opening 90 seconds of the second quarter and carried a 16-0 lead into halftime.

UMass Lowell (1-8, 0-3) goalkeeper Alex Desmarais (Atkinson, N.H.) recorded a game-high ten saves for the River Hawks before Giles Ober (Southborough, Mass.) came on in relief to stop eight shots. Freshman Cory Highfield (Toronto, Ontario) scooped up a team-best three ground balls.

Fields ended the game with nine points (7g, 2a) for the Great Danes while Lyle Thompson, Justin Reh and John Glancy each registered two goals. Overall, UAlbany tallied 15 different goal scorers in the contest.

UMass Lowell returns to action on Saturday, April 4 at Cushing Field Complex against Binghamton at 1 p.m.
