Waterbury, Conn. - Junior Shane McKay (Hempstead, N.Y.) and sophomores Trevor Buchas (Bristol, Conn.) and Luke McDermott (New Milford, Conn.) each scored two goals apiece, but it wasn't enough as the Post University men's lacrosse team lost to Franklin Pierce, 13-7 at LaMoy Field.

The Eagles now move to 1-4 on the season.

Post came out firing in the first period, scoring the first five goals of the game, as Buchas picked up a ground ball and scored with 12:27 left in the first half. Less than a minute later, Post would win the face off and McKay would score his first of the game to put the Eagles up 2-0. 

The next score came with 10:08 remaining as McDermott picked up a ground ball and put it past goalkeeper, Don Denman. With 8:25 left, Buchas scored his second goal after senior Matt Edwin (Stamford, Conn.) picked up a ground ball 24 seconds earlier. The first four goals of the game were unassisted.
