GORHAM, Maine -- Fourteen different players, led by senior Joe Nutting (Amherst, N.H./Souhegan) and rookie Andrew Miller (East Longmeadow, Mass.), scored goals as the visiting Keene State College Owls rolled past the University of Southern Maine Huskies, 26-6, in Little East Conference men's lacrosse action Saturday afternoon on Senior Day at Hannaford Field.
            The unbeaten Owls raised their record to 4-0 overall and 3-0 in conference play.  The Huskies dropped their second straight game to fall to 1-5 overall and 0-3 in LEC games.  Prior to the start of the game, the Huskies honored their three seniors, Tristan Dundas (Abbotsford, B.C.), Joe Cullinan (Contoocook, N.H./Hopkinton) and captain Steve Gilbert (Litchfield, Maine/Oak Hill).
            Nutting and Miller each found the net for five goals apiece to pace the Owls' balanced attack.  Nutting also dished out two assists, and Miller had one assist.  Freshman Colby Quiet (Hopkinton, N.H.) added three goals and one assist, and dominated the faceoff dot winning 27 of 32 faceoffs and scooping up 17 ground balls.
            Dundas had three goals, all in the first quarter, to lead the Huskies.  Cullinan and sophomores  Aidan Mitchell (Brunswick, Maine) and Tanner Hebert (Pittston, Maine/Gardiner Area) each had a goal.
            Dundas' three first-quarter goals kept the Huskies even on the scoreboard (3-3) through the first 11 minutes of play.  Miller's goal with 2:49 left in the quarter put the Owls ahead to stay.  The quarter would end with the Owls up 5-3.
            Keene State dominated the second and third quarters outscoring Southern Maine 19-3 to open a 24-6 lead after three quarters.
            The Owls piled up a 63-21 advantage in shots during the game, and held a 43-25 edge in ground balls.
