MONTCLAIR, N.J. - Montclair State posted a 6-1 run that spanned the second and third quarters and the Red Hawks handed the Rangers a 9-5 non-conference setback in non-conference men's lacrosse action on Saturday.

• Montclair State answered with its big run to assume a 7-3 lead with 6:49 left in the third quarter. Junior Seamus O'Connor scored for Drew during the MSU surge.

• Neither side would find the back of the net again until O'Connor tossed in an unassisted goal to pull Drew to within three once again. However, Montclair State would not allow another shot the rest of the way, and the hosts set the final score with a goal at the 2:41 mark.
