Lacrosse Downs Vermont as Genik Reaches 100-Point Mark

The University of Hartford men’s lacrosse team ran out to a 7-0 lead and never looked back as it defeated the Vermont Catamounts by a 12-8 final in America East action on Saturday (April 16). The Hawks boost their record to 8-5 with a 2-1 mark in league play while Vermont drops to 6-6 overall and 1-2 in the conference.

Another member of the Hawks reached a milestone in his career, as Aidan Genik joined fellow classmate Carter Bender in cracking the 100-point milestone. After scoring Hartford’s third goal of the contest, Genik returned the favor to classmate Martin Bowes two-and-a-half minutes later to become the 15th member of the program’s 100-point club. He finished the contest with three points.

Rory Nunamacher, a sophomore attackman, netted a hat trick to lead the Hawks’ attack while junior Bowes scored twice and dished out three assists to finish with a game-best five points. For the Catamounts, Thomas Galvin compiled four points on three goals and one helper.

Hartford dominated nearly every statistical category as it outshot its opponents, 33-29, and finished with a 27-24 advantage in ground balls. In addition, the Hawks won 16-of-26 possession battles, led by senior Tim Fallon, who controlled 15-of-24 face-offs. Fallon also picked up a game-best nine ground balls. Scott Bement notched a 12-save effort to anchor Hartford's defense.
