The men’s lacrosse team (ranked 5th in the country in the April 21, 2008 USILA poll) won its school-record ninth straight game with a hard-fought 8-6 victory at Vermont on Saturday. The Retrievers are now focused on hosting this weekend’s America East Championships. UMBC will face fourth-seeded Binghamton on Thursday, May 1 at 7:30 p.m.
