EMMITSBURG, Md. - Freshman attacker Matt Teichmann (Babylon, N.Y.) scored four goals to lead the Marist men's lacrosse team to a 9-5 victory over Mount St. Mary's on Wednesday. The win was the first for the Red Foxes on the season, as they improved to 1-6 overall and 1-1 in Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Lacrosse League play.

Each team scored a pair of goals in the second quarter, allowing the Red Foxes to take a 3-2 halftime lead.
