PROVIDENCE, R.I. - The Providence College men's lacrosse team defeated VMI, 8-4, in a Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) game on Saturday, April 24 in Providence, R.I. The Friars improve to 6-6 overall and 5-2 in the MAAC, while the Keydets fall to 0-10 overall (0-7 MAAC).

He also was credited with the eventual game-winning goal at the 13:23 mark of the third quarter, unassisted, in a man-up situation. Giuntini's two goals on the day moves him into a tie for 15th place on the all-time goals scored list at Providence with 56 career tallies. He is currently tied with Mike Kirkwood, who is a 1987 graduate of the College.
Sophomore Tom Kelly (Henniker, N.H.) started the scoring for PC at the 3:06 mark of the first quarter on an assist from Giuntini.
