PROVIDENCE, R.I. - The Providence College men's lacrosse team defeated Fairfield, 11-10, in overtime on Wednesday, April 5 at the Friar Lacrosse Complex in Providence, R.I.

Senior Michael Farley (Westfield, N.J.) and sophomore R.J. Lamontagne (Pittsford, N.Y.) each scored a team-high three goals to pace the Friar offense. Farley netted two of his three goals early in the first quarter, enroute to a 4-0 Friar lead after the first 15 minutes of play.
