This will be the seventh overall meeting between the Hawks and Saints, with Monmouth owning the 5-1 advantage.
 
The Siena Men's Lacrosse team fell just short of a comeback victory last Saturday afternoon, as a pair of late attempts to tie the game were stopped as the Canisius Golden Griffins held on to secure an 8-7 win over the Green and Gold.
 
Siena was led by a five-point afternoon from senior Jack Kiernan, who secured a hat trick and two assists. Fifth year Dylan Pantalone dished out assists on two of Kiernan's scores, finishing as the other Saints in double-digit points. The Saints would get single points on the game from George Rusnak, Brendan Lantieri, Nick Casner, Maurice Tessier, Seth Van Schepen, and Brett Habich. Junior goalkeeper Christopher Yanchoris would snag seven saves in the loss.
 
The Hawks were selected third in the MAAC Preseason Coaches' Poll. In addition, a pair of seniors, Rudy Beck and Chris Hervada were each honored with a spot on the Preseason All-MAAC Team. Beck and Hervada were each first team selections in 2019 and preseason choices last year.
 
After Saturday's matchup with Monmouth, the Saints hit the road for the first time this season and take on Quinnipiac in Hamden. Opening faceoff will kick things off at 12 PM.
