Junior Austin Max (Nashville, Tenn.) notched a goal and an assist in the setback for the host Lions (0-8, 0-1 NEWMAC), who also received a tally from sophomore Diego Rosende (Plantation, Fla.) and a helper off the stick of senior Nicholas Kitsos (Summit, N.J.).  Senior James Klose (Ellicott City, Md.) picked up the win in goal for Massachusetts Maritime with eight saves in the opening 50 minutes of action, while freshman Jeffrey Statile (Ipswich, Mass.) made one stop in six minutes of play for the visitors.  Freshman Bailey Kennedy (Swampscott, Mass.) made 11 saves in the setback for Emerson, as the Buccaneers outshot the Lyons by a 54-24 margin overall (33-11 on goal) and forced 35 turnovers for the contest.
