MANCHESTER, N.H. – The nationally-ranked Saint Anselm College men's lacrosse team concluded its 2023 regular season with a 15-13 Senior Day win over Assumption University on Tuesday.

With the win, the Hawks enter the Northeast-10 Conference postseason with an 8-3 record and a 7-3 mark in conference games while the Greyhounds see their season come to a close at 4-10 overall and 2-8 in league games. Saint Anselm entered play on Tuesday ranked No. 15 in the most recent United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA) Division II National Poll.

Saint Anselm honored 15 members that make up the Class of 2023 from the men's lacrosse program prior to the opening faceoff on Tuesday.

The Hawks would reply with a six-goal run in the opening 15 minutes of action to hold a 6-3 lead. Freshman Chris Claflin (Newton, Mass.), Will Andrews, Robinson, Jack Andrews, freshman Charlie Dean (North Andover, Mass.), and Larsen netted one goal each on the scoring run.

The sides traded goals throughout the second quarter and back-to-back goals from Healey would cut the Hawks lead to one at 8-7 but a pair of last-minute goals from Larsen and Jack Andrews reestablished the three-goal lead for the Hawks, who led 10-7 at the half.

The Greyhounds potted two goals early in the third but Larsen netted his second of the game at 5:40 which gave Saint Anselm an 11-9 advantage. However, Assumption scored each of the next three goals to take a 12-11 lead with 13:22 left in the fourth quarter.

After one goal went to each side, Saint Anselm would score each of the game's final three goals with a pair of Mulvey goals sandwiching a tally from Jack Andrews to give the Hawks the 15-13 regular season finale win.
