BANGOR, Maine — The Husson University men's lacrosse team overcame an early three goal deficit on Saturday to pick up a 16-10 North Atlantic Conference victory over Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts on senior day. 

MCLA (2-9, 1-5 NAC) jumped out to an early 3-0 advantage on Saturday scoring three goals in the first 2:25 seconds before senior Jaden Wells got the Eagles on the board with his first of four goals on the afternoon. 

Husson (5-10, 2-4 NAC) rolled off four unanswered goals to end the opening quarter with Wells getting the scoring run started. Senior Darryn Bailey pulled the Eagles within 3-2 with his first of three goals with an assist from sophomore Danny Carter. 

Bailey would tied the game 3-3 with 3:59 remaining in the first quarter off an assist by Wells, while Wells would find fellow senior Gunner McAllister for the first of his five goals to give Husson a 4-3 edge.

The Eagles extended their scoring run to eight unanswered goals with a 4-0 run to open the second quarter. McAllister scored on two of those four goals while Wells and Carter each tallied a net finder. 

The Trailblazers ended the Eagles 8-0 run with a goal just before half, but Husson controlled an 8-4 edge heading in the break.

Carter and Wells extended Husson's lead to 10-4 with back-to-back goals in the third quarter before MCLA answered with a goal of its own to make the deficit 10-5. 

Husson would outscore the Trailblazers 3-1 over the final seven minutes, using goals by Bailey, McAllister and Wells to carry a 13-6 lead heading into the final quarter. 

MCLA would outscore Husson 4-2 over the final 15 minutes, but the damage had been done early as the Eagles held on for the 16-10 conference victory. 

McAllister finished with a team-high five goals, while Wells added four goals and two assists. 

Carter finished with two goals and a game-high four assists matching freshman Sean Lyne's game-high four assists. 

Prior to the game, Husson honored its 2022 senior class as Bryan Wagg, McAllister, Bailey, Wells, Shawn Ragaglia and Roman Dennis were honored.
