PROVIDENCE, R.I. - The Providence College men's lacrosse team defeated Vermont, 10-9, in Providence, Rhode Island on Saturday, March 16. Juniors Jon Meehan (Peabody, Mass.) and Skip Dunphy (Manhasset, N.Y.), and freshman Dan Giuntini (Flora Park, N.Y.) scored three goals each to lead the Friars. Senior Chris Houston (Garden City, N.Y.) added one goal for PC.

Providence trailed 3-2 after the first quarter, but rallied to score four goals in the second quarter to lead 6-4 at the halftime break. Two of Meehan's three goals came in the second half. Meehan's third goal of the game was the eventual game winner, as he connected with 2:43 remaining in the game off an assist from Frank Bosco (Cortlandt Manor, N.Y.) to make the score 10-8. Vermont got within one goal (10-9), with :26 remaining in the game on a goal from Phil McKnight. McKnight led all scorers with four goals and one assist for five points. Doug Moses and Mark Prior scored two goals each for Vermont, while Jeff Fauci added one goal.
