VESTAL, N.Y. – In a back-and-forth battle between two in-state rivals, the Bingahmton men's lacrosse team ultimately fell to Siena 10-6 Wednesday night at the Bearcats Sports Complex.

The Bearcats got off on the right foot when Liam Ferris opened the scoring 1:09 into the game with his team-high ninth goal of the season. It was Siena's leading scorer, Reynolds, who responded with two goals of his own at 10:03 and 7:23 to give the Saints a 2-1 lead. Garone would finish the scoring in the first quarter with a strike at 3:52 to tie the game at 2-2 heading into the second quarter.
 
Drew Filanowski, who assisted on both of Binghamton's goals in the first quarter, put the Bearcats ahead 3-2 with his third goal of the season at 10:02 in the second quarter. It was the only goal the Bearcats scored that quarter, as Siena closed the frame out on a 3-0 run with goals by Conor Hufnagel, Reynolds and Radomski to go into the break with a 5-3 lead. Winters made six of his saves that quarter to keep Binghamton in the game.
 
In response to their drought, the Bearcats came out at the start of the third quarter with a goal scored 14 seconds into the frame by Matthew Rincon. Binghamton would go on to tie the contest at five on a goal by Gage Adams at 9:49. Siena would get a goal back courtesy of Joe Valenza with 1:06 left, as Binghamton went into the fourth quarter trailing 6-5.
 
However, Siena would pull away throughout the final quarter. Radomski scored two consecutive goals to secure a hat trick, while Patrick Linton got a goal with the Saints up a player to put Siena ahead 9-5 with 6:05 left. Garone started a rally with his second goal of the game at 2:46, but the Saints secured the win after Travis Fry scored with 1:23 remaining.
