HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. – Junior attacker Tom Haun's (Ronkonkoma, N.Y.) five goals, including the game-winner with 1:20 left in the fourth quarter, help lift the Stony Brook men's lacrosse team to a 11-10 hard fought victory over Hofstra at James M. Shuart Stadium on Tuesday night.  
 
Haun's five goals were a career-high, while junior goalkeeper Michael Bollinger (Holbrook, N.Y.) recorded nine big saves for the Seawolves (2-1). Sophomore midfielder Patrick Kaschalk (Windsor, Ontario) and junior midfielder Tom Dugan (Commack, N.Y.) both added a pair of goals each and sophomore midfielder Mike McCannell (Orangeville, Ontario) tallied a career-best four assists in the victory over the Pride (2-2).
 
Stony Brook held a 5-4 halftime lead and an 8-6 lead entering the fourth quarter before they built as much as a three-goal advantage. Hofstra was able to tie the score 10-10 before Haun notched what would be the game-winner.
