LOUDONVILLE, N.Y. – Siena rallied from a 9-1 deficit Saturday afternoon to shock the St. Bonaventure men's lacrosse team, 14-11, on a rainy day in the Capital District.

St. Bonaventure (8-3, 3-1 MAAC) dominated the first 20 minutes, racing out to a 7-0 lead with 2:19 left in the first quarter.

Siena's Jack Kiernan got the Saints on the board for the first time with 31 seconds left before the end of the opening quarter, but both Jackson Rose and Jake Rosa already had tallied hat tricks by that point.

The Bonnies were still rolling through much of the second quarter.

Rose struck again off an assist by Conor Murphy and Jake Emmick also found the back of the net for a 9-1 score at the 10:41 mark of the second quarter.

That score would hold until the waning seconds of the second quarter. Rosa would leave the game due to injury with 1:25 left in the half and Siena struck twice before the buzzer – first on another goal from Kiernan with 36 seconds left, then, Sean Jeffrey won the ensuing faceoff and marched down the field and rocketed in a shot from 20 yards out for a 9-3 halftime score.

From there, the Saints (4-8, 2-3) kept chipping away.

Siena scored the first two goals of the second half, but Austin Blumbergs stemmed the tide for a 10-5 score with 8:49 left in the third. The Saints scored twice more in the third as the Bonnies held a 10-7 advantage with 15 minutes to play.

Siena would own the fourth quarter, registering a 7-1 scoring margin in the final period.

Pratt Reynolds tied the game, 10-10, with 9:09 remaining and by then the Saints had all the momentum. Siena would take the lead for the first time with 7:45 left on a goal from Nick Pepe.

Sean Westley momentarily stopped Siena's run by tying the game with 6:52 to go, but it would be the last of the offense from the visitors.

Siena won the next faceoff and turned that possession into a goal as Reynolds scored again, this time what would be the game-winner, off an assist from Kiernan.

The Saints would not allow another shot on goal the rest of the way as they slowly pulled away down the stretch, scoring the final goal on the power play with 1:55 on the clock.

Rose tallied his eighth multi-goal game of the year, posting a team-best four on the day to give him 28 goals on the season. Rosa finished with three goals and an assist from four points.

Blumbergs, Westley, Emmick and Brady Wijbrandts all scored one goal apiece with Westley handing out a pair of assists.

Kiernan tallied four goals and Reynolds along with Sean Jeffrey had hat tricks for Siena.

St. Bonaventure is back on the road to play at Quinnipiac in the penultimate game of the regular season next Saturday.
