ROME, Ga. - - Led by Cory Hall's 5 goals, the Berry College men's lacrosse team won their third straight game with a 10-3 defeat over the Milwaukee School of Engineering.

The win improved the Vikings to 3-0 on the season. The loss dropped the Raiders to 1-1 overall.

Scoring his first 2 goals in the first period, Hall helped the Vikings to an early 3-0 lead going into the second period. Hall then scored twice again in the second period and once more in the fourth to round off his scoring rampage.

Matt Bentley, assisted by Quentin Johnson, had the third Berry goal of the 1st period. Maxwell Smerka, Michael Harper, and Johnson then each scored to put Berry ahead, 8-2, going into halftime.

Christian Akers, on a pass from Matt Dominguez, scored in the 3rd to keep BC ahead, 9-3.

Akers added three assists on the afternoon for the Vikes. Johnson picked up two assists as well.

Berry goalkeeper Duncan Tilka made 5 saves and improved to 2-0.

BC led the Raiders in shots (40-14), ground balls (36-20), and face-offs (11-4).

"We executed our zone defense better today, and I can see we improved from the game on Friday (a 10-3 win over Alma)," said Berry Head Coach Curtis Gilbert. "We don't have many opportunities to play at home, so it's important that we play well in front of our fans."

For MSOE, Brent Finnegan had 1 goal and 2 assists. Thomas Reid and James Simonson also added a goal apiece for the Raiders.

The Vikings host Augustana (Ill.) in their next game at home on Thursday, March 5, at 3:30 p.m.​
