Second-Half Rally Leads #18 UAlbany Past Men's Lacrosse, 16-6

WEST HARTFORD, Conn. — No. 18 UAlbany used a big second half to push past the Hartford men's lacrosse team, 16-6, in the Hawks' 2021 season opener Saturday on Al-Marzook Field. Sophomore Anthony Sericolo scored a career-best two goals to pace the Hawks, who also opened their America East slate.
 
Three Great Danes recorded three goals apiece, led by Tehoka Nanticoke, who added four assists for a game-best seven points. UAlbany improves to 2-0 overall and 1-0 in conference play.

The Great Danes provided the only scoring in the first quarter, netting a pair of goals at the 7:15 mark and the 2:32 mark before extending their advantage on a Graydon Hogg score two minutes into the second. The Hawks rallied, though, as Sericolo and Anthony Boniface delivered scored 58 seconds apart to make it a one-goal game with 9:50 remaining until halftime.
 
From there, Nanticoke took over, netting a hat trick within a 75-second span to stretch the Great Danes' lead to 6-2 with 6:26 left in the half. Hartford, which managed to get one goal back before halftime to make it 6-3 at the break, struck first two minutes into the third to close the gap to 6-4 on Sericolo's second goal. But UAlbany answered in a big way, scoring the game's next six goals to put the game out of reach.
