PROVIDENCE, R.I. - The Providence men's lacrosse team earned its second win of the season against an unbeaten Univeristy of Hartford, 11-10, Wednesday afternoon at Glay Field.

The Hawks entered the game with a 4-0 record, while Providence had earned only one win prior to the game, with a record of 1-5.

The Friars never trailed in the game as they entered the fourth quarter with a 10-7 lead. The Hawks threatened in the quarter with three goals, but PC's Dunphy scored what proved to be the eventual game-winner, and the only Friar goal of the fourth quarter with 8:31 remaining in the game.

Kevin Garvey and Jamell Vanterpool scored two goals each to pace Hartford, while six other Hawks tallied one goal apiece.

Junior John Farley earned his second win in goal as he registered 10 saves. For Hartford, Rorke Greene started in the net before being relieved at the start of the second half by Paul Caracci.
