Buena Vista, Va. – Fifteen Seahawks found the back of the net Saturday afternoon as the St. Mary's College of Maryland men's lacrosse team routed their host and Capital Athletic Conference newcomer, Southern Virginia University, by a score of 25-4.

Senior attackmen Maximilian Reamer (Baltimore, Md./Friends) and Ben Love (Owings Mills, Md./McDonogh) led the scoring onslaught with four goals apiece, marking a career outing for Reamer. Sophomore midfielder Stewart Utter (Deephaven, Minn./Minnetonka) also had a career day with two goals and two assists.

The Seahawks (5-5) opened up the game with a 4-0 run in the first quarter. St. Mary's exploded for nine goals in the second period for a 13-2 halftime lead. Love and Reamer (3 goals) combined for seven of the team's 13 first half goals while senior attackman Stew D'Ambrogi (Severna Park, Md./Severn) and sophomore midfielder Nicholas Wilkinson (Huntingtown, Md./Calverton) each had two assists.

First-year midfielder Nash Wilkey (Highland, Utah) paced Southern Virginia (0-11) with two goals while sophomore midfielder Mike Bangerter (Highland, Utah) had a goal and an assist.

St. Mary's scored the first two goals of the third stanza before sophomore midfielder Joshua Neilson (Turlock, Calif.) and Wilkey tallied back-to-back goals for a 15-4 SMCM lead at 8:39. It was all Seahawks after that as they netted the final four goals of the third and then shutout Southern Virginia for the second time with a 6-0 run in the fourth quarter.
