LENNOXVILLE, Que. --
Kevin Donovan of Bethany, Conn., and
Connor Goodwin of New Westminster, B.C., each registered hat-tricks as the visiting McGill outlasted Bishop's 12-10 in men's lacrosse, Thursday.
It improved the defending national champions win streak to 15 games overall, dating back to a 14-7 loss to the NCAA's Plattsburgh State on Oct. 12, 2012. Against Canadian university opponents, the Redmen win streak is now 13 straight dating back to an 11-10 setback at Bishop's on Sept. 27, 2012.
McGill jumped into an early 5-0 lead but the Gaiters rallied and eventually narrowed the gap to 11-10 heading into the final minutes.
Goodwin then bagged his third of the night to provide the insurance marker.
Tayler Sipperly of Charlotte, N.C., was credited with the game-winner, while other Redmen marksmen were
Anders Bjella of Milwaukee,
Drew Laird of Chittenden, Vt.,
Nolan Prinzen of Summit, N.J.,
Leland de Langley of Orangeville, Ont., and
