COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- Resselear outscored Colorado College 6-1 in the first period and that turned out to be more goals than they would need as the Red Hawks posted a 14-4 victory in a Division III men's lacrosse game on a chilly Monday night at CC's Washburn Field.

RPI used goals by junior midfielder Josh Secora, sophomore attacker Devin Arnold and senior midfielder Alex MacDiarmid to take a 3-0 lead just 6:01 into the game. And after Chris Love put the Tigers on the board with 7:44 remaining in the first period, the Red Hawks struck for three goals in a span of 1:40 to take control of the game.

The teams traded goals early in the second quarter, but Rensselear scored two more later in the frame to take 9-2 lead at the break. The Red Hawks outscored the Tigers 5-2 in the second half.

Freshman attacker Nick Billy had four goals and a pair of assists to pace the RPI attack. Secora had three goals and an assist, while MacDiarmid and Arnold had two goals apiece.

Love led the Tigers with a goal and an assist. CC also got goals from Hunter Combs, Tom Dugan and Joe Boyle.

Sophomore Ryan DeJordy stopped 11 shots while improving to 1-1 in goal.

Freshman Scott MacArthur, who made four saves in the first period, dropped to 1-1. Freshman Max Pluss stopped 12 of 20 shots during the finals three periods.

The Red Hawks had a 30-15 advantage in shots on goal and a 22-17 edge in ground balls.

The Tigers will return to action this weekend when they play host to Medaille College and Mt. Ida College in the 6th Annual Colorado College Invitational.
