HENNIKER, N.H. – New England College men's lacrosse proved to be too much for Johnson topping the Badgers 20-2 Saturday afternoon. The loss drops Johnson to 0-3 overall and 0-2 in the North Atlantic Conference (NAC) while the Pilgrims even their overall record at 4-4 and remain undefeated in NAC improving to 2-0.

Brian Gillis finished the game with seven goals and one assist, while Tim Reilly (Hanover, Mass.) netted the three first half goals and dished out two assists.  NEC's Pat Miles (Bampton, Ontario) scored a goal and had four assists, while Adam Shute (Calgary, Alberta) assisted three goals on the afternoon.

New England College would explode with five goals in the opening five minutes of play out scoring Johnson 13-1 in the opening half. 

The Pilgrims would continue their offensive dominance in the second half of play as Johnson's Matt Dekens would score in the opening minute but NEC would respond with seven unanswered goals en route to the 20-2 victory.
