OPENING FACEOFF 
The St. Bonaventure men's lacrosse team returns to action on Tuesday, hosting Mercyhurst at the Marra Athletics Complex. The Bonnies enter at 1-3, coming off of a heartbreaking one-goal loss at Robert Morris. The Lakers come in with an 0-3 record after a 9-8 loss to Queens and they are looking for their first Division I win. 

LAST TIME OUT 
Bona is coming off an 8-7 road loss in which they took preseason NEC favorites Robert Morris down to the wire. The Bonnies held a 7-5 advantage with about eight minutes to go in the contest, but the Colonials surged back in frigid temperatures and took the lead with nearly four minutes to play. Senior Drew Kenney led the team with three points (1G-2A) in the loss. 

SENIOR SUCCESS 
Kenney's productive performance against RMU adds to an impressive season as he has now scored at least one point in each game. Highlighting his efforts are his assist and game-winning overtime goal at Mount St. Mary's. He has totaled eight points (4G-4A) on the year. 

PERFECT ON PENALTIES 
The Brown and White killed all four of Robert Morris' man-up opportunities. They also scored on an extra-man opportunity of their own, courtesy of Kyle Pepper's third individual man-up goal of the season. He is tied for the national lead.
