UMBC’s Nick Dupuis ended the longest game in school history, propelling the Retrievers past Stony Brook, 13-12, in quadruple-overtime Saturday. The win was UMBC’s second-straight OT win and moves them to 2-0 (1-0 America East).
Both goalies shined in the extra periods with multiple saves, weathering man-down attempts and scoring chances. UMBC senior goalie Tommy Lingner (Fort Salonga, N.Y.) made 16 saves, including a game-saving one at the end of the third OT. Stony Brook’s Anthony Palma made two big saves in the third for 12 total.
For Dupuis’ third and game-deciding goal came on EMO, when he started at X, got to GLE, faked and buried low just before taking a hit.

ALBANY The UAlbany men’s lacrosse team gets a turbo boost on offense this weekend.
The defense, meanwhile, has already hit its stride, based on how the back line performed in a 15-9 victory over Colgate at Fallon Field last Saturday.
The Great Danes returned 11 players to the lineup this week after they had missed the season opener because of COVID-19 protocols, among them Tehoka Nanticoke and Graydon Hogg.
So when UAlbany plays Hartford Saturday on the road at noon, the Hawks face a daunting challenge stopping a starting attack that includes Nanticoke, Jakob Patterson and freshman Camden Hay.
