NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y. — Siena Men's Lacrosse broke the single-game program record for shots taken in a game with 72, had 15 different goal scorers and were perfect on clears as the Saints romped Iona on the road at Mazzella Field 24-7 on Saturday to extend its win streak to six straight.
In doing so, the Saints (9-2 overall, 5-0 MAAC) also moved into first place all alone in the MAAC standings as the lone remaining undefeated team in conference play with Sacred Heart dropping Saturday's game against Quinnipiac 16-14.

Travis Fry had three goals and three assists,
Caden Olmstead added three goals and two assists and
Patrick Linton put in three goals and an assist as Siena packed on an eight-goal first quarter.
Logan Banek was 12-of-14 on faceoffs with seven ground balls while
Tyler Kuprianchik was 8-of-10 with six ground balls as the Saints' duo won on 83 percent of the face offs they took.
Iona dropped to 2-12 overall and 2-4 in the MAAC.

Logan Banek scoring his second goal of the season at 10:40. Despite Iona's efforts, including goals by Jake Riglietti and Carson Turissini, the Saints maintained a strong lead. Additional goals from
Colby LeBlanc, Olmstead, and another from Fry concluded the quarter with Siena leading 8–2.
Siena extended its lead with a five-goal surge in the second quarter, starting with

Conor Hufnagel furthered Siena's advantage with a goal assisted by Olmstead at 10:10. Blenk and
Riley Hegarty added two more goals, with Hegarty's assisted by
Caden Padelford. Iona's Lleyton Hall and Jimmy Kennedy managed to score, but Siena's
Brandon Blenk and Olmstead, who scored on a man-up opportunity assisted by Fry, closed the quarter strong, resulting in a 19–7 lead for the Saints.
