NASHUA, N.H. – Daniel Webster goalkeeper Curtis Larade (Merrimack, N.H.) set a new program all-time single game saves record by stopping 32 shots, but the host Eagles late charge fell short as Becker held on for a 16-12 victory in a NECC men's lacrosse matchup Saturday afternoon at Eagle Field.

Larade's stops broke a record that had stood since March 23, 2006 when Brian Abrahamson '09 stopped 30 shots against the University of New England. Larade, who had 10 saves in both the first and third quarters, added a team-high six groundballs in the loss.

Anthony Cotoni (Groton, Mass.) notched three goals and three assists for DWC (5-7, 0-3 NECC) while Tommy Hanley (Syracuse, N.Y.) posted three goals and an assist.

Kevin Lambert (Weymouth, Mass.) and Dan Knupfer (Corfu, N.Y.) picked up two goals and an assist each for the hosts.

Becker (4-8, 1-1 NECC) was paced by five goals from Daniel Johnson (Plymouth, Mass.) while Alex Rossman (Newington, Conn.) tickled the twine four times and assisted on another. Matthew Genkos (Worcester, Mass.) posted three goals and two assists.

Bryan Parsons (Shrewsbury, Mass.) was a standout for the Hawks, pulling in a game-best 16 groundballs. Anthony Jordan (W. Hartford, Conn.) finished with six saves in goal.

Despite Becker's advantages on shots on goal (48-27), groundballs (53-35) and face offs (22-10), the Eagles stayed within striking distance throughout. The Hawks held leads of 4-1 after one, 7-3 after two and 11-7 after three.

DWC jumped ahead 1-0 in the first off a Hanley score but Becker responded with four straight with two coming from Johnson.

Midway through the third, DWC made a mini-run to pull close. Trailing 9-5 and a Genkos score, Mike Viola (Fort Meyers, Fla.) and Knupfer scored 36 seconds apart for a 9-7 game with five minutes reaming in the period.

But Johnson buried the next two including one on the power play inside the final two and a half minutes to regain the four point edge.

Rossman opened the fourth with his third of the game and Hanley answered for the Eagles 1:12 later, but Rossman and Cruz Desrochers (Malden, Mass.) followed 1:03 apart to push the lead to its largest (14-8) with 10:12 remaining and DWC pulled no closer than three down the stretch.

The Eagles close the regular season on Tuesday as they visit Maine-Farmington at 4:00 p.m. before heading to the NECC tournament on Wednesday, April 29th.

Becker hosts Wheelock on Wednesday at 7:00 p.m.
