The Hudson Valley men’s lacrosse team won their game against Mohawk Valley Community College last Wednesday by a considerable margin with a final score of 26-1.

The team had a fair amount of success this season. This extends Hudson Valley’s winning streak to 3, giving them an overall record of 6-3 with two inner conference wins.

HVCC quickly made their presence known by scoring 10 goals in the first quarter.

The Vikings leading scorer in the game was Sophomore Aaron Thorpe, of Malton/Ballston Spa. Thorpe scored an impressive 10 goals and had seven assists — a career high for points in a single game. He has 36 points in 8 games this season.

Freshmen Nathan Bruce, of Scotia/Scotia-Glenville and Christopher Calicchia, of Loudonville/Shaker also performed well, with Bruce scoring 7 goals with three assists and Calicchia scoring 2 goals and one assist, which is a career high.

The Vikings hope to keep up their strong effort in the last two games of the season to keep a winning record. Their next and final game is home this Wednesday. We hope to see you there as the Vikings complete their regular season schedule against Finger Lakes Community College.
