VILLANOVA, Pa.- The Fairfield University men's lacrosse team saw its string of two consecutive wins stopped by No. 6 Villanova on Saturday afternoon. Colin Burke racked up four poins for the Stags, but the host Wildcats continued their strong play this spring with a 15-9 win.

Burke, who entered the day at the CAA leader in points per game, netted his team-leading 26th goal of the campaign and handed out a career-high three assists to improve his overall point total to 34.

Charlie Horning (a first-year transfer from Villanova), Jake Knostman and Nico Panepinto each scored a pair of goals for the Stags, and Charlie Schnider doled out two assists to increase his CAA-leading total to 19 helpers. Drew Murray and TJ Neubauer each added one goal, with Horning and Murray both handing out an assist to round out the Fairfield attack.

Tyler Behring made the start in the cage and recorded nine saves. Brad Nordstrom took over in goal in the fourth quarter and turned away all four shots that he faced.

Joe DeLasho led the away at the faceoff 'X' with a 9-for-18 mark and three ground balls. Will Fox added four wins on the draw, and Neubauer corralled four ground balls in the midfield.

Devin McNamara led Villanova (6-1) to its sixth consecutive win with four goals and two assists. Christian Cuccinello added five points – two goals and three assists. Dan Willis made eight saves for the Wildcats.
