The Saint Vincent men's lacrosse team celebrated Senior Day in fine fashion, establishing a new school record for goals in a game with a 29-1 win over Thiel College at Chuck Noll Field.

The win moves the Bearcats' record to 7-2 on the year, as the team is off to its best start since the 2005 campaign.

Twenty one different players recorded at least one point on the day, while Saint Vincent had 19 different goal scorers en-route to out-shooting the Tomcats 74-12.  The hosts put the game away early, taking a 9-0 lead at the end of the first quarter, before increasing their advantage to 17-1 at halftime.

Will DeLanoy led the offense with seven points, coming via three goals and four assists.  Two teammates recorded five-point days, as Ryan Kearney and Alex Langton each scored two goals with three assists.  Jake Dick and Kevin Vawter each ended the day with three goals, and Kullen Adams scored a career-high three points, with two goals and an assist.

Zach Wilfong, Anthony Altieri, and Kevin Schroeck each contributed one goal and one assist.

The Bearcats owned a big 56-24 advantage in ground balls, led the the trio of Kearney, DeLanoy, and Clark Williams, who all had four apiece, while seven other players had three GB's.  Saint Vincent was also strong on the faceoff, winning 25 of 33 draws, topped by Kevin Adams' 10-for-11 performance in the circle. 

While the 29 goals established a new school record, the one goal scored by Thiel was the fewest surrendered by a Bearcat team since a 22-0 victory over Seton Hill in March 2005.

Andrew Shaver scored the lone tally for Thiel (1-8), an unassisted goal with 7:24 left in the second quarter.  Thiel goalies Richard Cannon and Alex Cornwell combined to make 20 saves, with the former posting 12 and the latter eight.

Saint Vincent returns to action on Wednesday, when it welcomes Bethany College to Latrobe for a game scheduled for 4pm.
