HUNTSVILLE, ALA.  – Jake Grebe's hat trick and four points powered the Maryville men's lacrosse team to a 14-3 victory at Alabama-Huntsville. The Saints reeled off nine straight goals to pull away for their third straight win. The Maryville defense surrendered only one goal over a 41-minute span. The three goals surrendered are the fewest in a game since allowing just one to William Jewell April 10, 2024.

Tied at 1-1, Luke Chorlton scored to give the Saints a lead they would not surrender the rest of the way. Grebe fired in his first of the day, and Ben Mickett tallied to open the second quarter.

Mickett had another early goal in a quarter, with Connor Kvaal scoring off a Grebe assist. Grebe completed his hat trick before Trent Zimay and Jack Tocko tallied to end the third quarter. Clayton Cerett and Zimay scored in the fourth before UAH finally scored after more than two full quarters of game time. Jared Norris tacked on the final goal to end the contest.
