WEST POINT, N.Y. - The Boston University men's lacrosse team suffered a 14-8 setback at No. 11/10 Army West Point on Saturday afternoon at Michie Stadium.

Junior Matt Garber made 15 of his 17 saves in the first half to keep BU (6-3, 4-2 PL) in the contest, but Army (6-2, 4-1 PL) held a 5-1 lead after the first quarter and never looked back despite Garber's strong opening 30 minutes.

Freshman Tommy Bourque tallied two goals to lead the Terrier offense. Sophomore Vince D'Alto (1g, 1a) and freshman Christian Quadrino (1g, 1a) each notched two points. Junior Matt Baugher, graduate student Nicholas Ellerton, sophomore Donnie Howard and sophomore Louis Perfetto all found the back of the net as well while juniors Jett Dziama and Matt Hilburn added one assist apiece.

Sophomore LSM Roy Meyer had a fantastic day, leading the Terriers with a career-high six ground balls and three caused turnovers. D'Alto collected a career-best five ground balls while Perfetto and junior Will Carson each picked up three ground balls. Freshman Brian Garrity and senior Kevin Snyder combined to win nine faceoffs.

With the loss, BU is guaranteed to be the second-place team out of the Patriot League North Division. The Terriers clinched their fourth consecutive trip to the Patriot League semifinals last weekend with their win at Colgate.
