SPRINGFIELD MASS. – Brent Stoothoff (West Islip, N.Y.) totaled four goals and four assists to lead the eighth-ranked Bryant University men’s lacrosse team to a 23-1 win over American International College Thursday afternoon at John Homer Miller Field. Bryant wins its second straight to move to 3-1 and 2-0 in Northeast-10 play, while it marked the season opener for the Yellow Jackets.

Stoothoff was one of three Bulldogs with four goals as Andrew Serge

AIC took a 1-0 lead 2:27 into the contest when Preston Cicchine (Kitchener, Ontario) scooped up a ball in the Bryant crease and shoveled it home for the goal. Stoothoff would tie the game with 6:18 to play in the opening frame, with Smith recording the eventual gamewinner 1:43 later. Bryant would lead 6-1 after one period and 15-1 at halftime.

Matt Lovejoy (Thorton, Pa.) and Michael Kennedy (Port Jefferson, N.Y.) each played a half in goal for the guests and combined for one save.
