Newton, Mass.- Dan Hatch (Avon, MA) scored four times then added two assists in an 11-1 Laser win over Newbury College on Tuesday, at Taylor Field.  The Lasers are now 8-5-0, and are on a four game winning streak over the past two weeks.

Hatch opened the game scoring two quick goals, first by chipping in a shot at close range off a pass from Robert Gonzalez (Palmdale, CA), at 10:44, followed by an open shot at net from the right hand side of the field, at 12:18.  The Lasers increased their lead to three after Zach Gagne (Somerset, MA) connected on a direct kick from the top of the box, just three minutes later.

Hatch continued the Lasers run as he sent a crossed ball to Kyle Cronin (Weymouth, MA) who tapped in the Lasers fourth goal.  Just minutes later, Hatch maneuvered his way around the Nighthawks defense and goalkeeper to score a hat trick in the first half. 

Before breaking for the half, Lasell's Tholemson Francois (Stoughton, MA) centered a pass to Kyle Hermenegilde (Rehoboth, MA) to give the Lasers a 6-0 lead.

Newbury's John Mawson (Amherst, MA) scored the Nighthawks lone goal at the start of the second half.  Andi Maska (Roslindale, MA) crossed a pass to Mawson who shot from the far left corner of the field to connect with the Lasers net. 

Gonzalez picked up another goal off of Hatch at 59:02, followed by Hatch and Gagne each scoring unassisted goals. Hatch dribbled from midfield to a one on one situation with the goalie, and Gagne rebounded his own shot to score.  Dylan Janosik (Windham, ME) and Francois completed the Lasers offense, scoring the final two goals off of penalty kicks.
