HACKETTSTOWN, N.J. – Sophomore Kyle Mott and junior Chris Howell combined for 11 goals and four assists to lead the Centenary University men's lacrosse team to a 17-1 win over Keystone College in Colonial States Athletic Conference (CSAC) action on Saturday afternoon.

The Cyclones got on the board at the 11:23 mark of the first quarter as Howell scored his sixth goal of the season. That goal was the start of a 7-0 run by the home team that bridged the first and second quarters.

Howell scored twice in the scoring stretch and added an assist while Mott found the back of the net three times in the run.

Keystone briefly halted the Centenary run with a goal from Jaydan Kirby at 6:26 of the second quarter. That tally made it a 7-1 game in favor of the hosts.

Mott's fourth goal of the first half gave the Cyclones an 8-1 lead at the half.

Howell needed just seven seconds in the third quarter to push the Centenary lead to 9-1. The junior won the opening faceoff and went straight to the goal for his third tally of the day and eighth goal of the year.
