It was a "hats off" kind of day for Siena Men's Lacrosse on Saturday afternoon as four players notched at least three goals on the day and the Saints clinched a playoff berth for a fourth consecutive season in the MAAC by routing Quinnipiac 17-7 at Hickey Field on Senior Day. 

Siena (7-4 overall, 5-1 MAAC) remained in third place all alone in the MAAC standings and now sits just one-half game behind on the win side of leader Canisius, who is 6-1. 

Sacred Heart is also 5-1, but won the head-to-head meeting with the Saints by one goal. 

Quinnipiac dropped to 2-10 overall and 2-5 inside MAAC play. 

The victory of 10 goals tied the largest margin of victory since April 8, 2017 when Siena defeated Manhattan 16-6 and it is the largest margin of victory since April 14, 2012 when Siena beat Canisius 14-2. 

The Saints had another huge first quarter, kick started by a "superman' sprawl out with arms extended goal by Travis Fry off the feed from long stick midfielder Joe Valenza.

That just got the team fired up as Pratt Reynolds, Caden Olmstead and Patrick Radomski also joined in the scoring party to the tune of six goals in the first quarter for Siena.

Siena extended that lead to 8-3 by halftime on goals by Ryan McCarthy and another from Radomski. 

The Saints layered it on with six more goals in the third quarter with McCarthy, Valenza, Reynolds, Conor Hufnagle, and Olmstead all getting in the act to push the advantage to 14-4 at the end of three quarters.  The teams traded goals in the final stanza.

McCarthy finished with three goals and four assists while Radomski added two goals and two assists, Reynolds and Fry each had three goals and an assist and Olmstead closed with three goals of his own. 

At the "X", freshman Logan Banek had yet another successful day by winning 15 of 24 face offs (.625) and had six ground balls.

In net, Andrew Arcuri was difficult to stop and he made eight saves and allowed just five goals in 54 plus minutes of action. The Westhampton, NY native also went over the 300 career saves mark in doing so on the afternoon. The fifth year added team highs of nine ground balls and caused three turnovers. 

Siena held a robust 50-30 advantage for shots including 31-16 for shots on goal.

Siena returns to action Saturday, April 19 when it travels to Western New York to take on MAAC standings leader Canisius (6-8 overall, 6-1 MAAC) at 1 p.m.
