This Day in Bentley History - April 21, 2012: Bentley Men's Lacrosse Plays at Gillette Stadium

On this day back in 2012, the Bentley men's lacrosse team took on Merrimack at Gillette Stadium. The Falcons, who came into the game with a 3-3 record in the Northeast-10, led late in the 4th quarter 11-10. 

Merrimack held a 10-8 lead at the start of the 4th quarter, and after three-plus minutes, Bentley erased that lead with two quick goals just 29 seconds apart. Nick Astarita scored at the 11:32 mark, followed by Brendan Grant scoring to tie the game 10-10. 

Just under six minutes of play elapsed before the next goal, but it was Bentley that scored it as Grant netted his 3rd of the afternoon at the 5:47 mark to give Bentley an 11-10 lead. Merrimack though tied the game with a goal by Mike Perdie at the 4:33 mark, then got the winning goal from Greg Melaugh with just 14 seconds remaining.
