Waterbury, Conn. – Junior Trevor Buchas (Bristol, Conn.) scored four goals, and freshman Patrick Egan (Colchester, Conn.) scored three, as Post used an eight-goal third period as its men's lacrosse team defeated Dominican, 15-11 on Friday afternoon.

Post jumped out to a 2-0 lead early on as senior Colby Treat (Penn Yan, N.Y.) and Buchas scored at the 9:46 and 5:05 mark, respectively. After Dominican cut the lead to 2-1, Egan scored an unassisted goal with 2:55 remaining in the period. Less than 30 seconds later, Dominican would again cut the deficit to one, as Blake Israel made it a 3-2.

The lead would stay at one goal after the second period as each team scored three goals. Treat added his second goal of the game, and sophomore Jon Hanlon (Centereach, N.Y.) and senior Chris Lommer (Lancaster, N.Y.) also scored for Post. It was Lommer's first goal of the season.
