UTICA, N.Y. (WKTV) - The Mohawk Valley Community College men's lacrosse team showed another great effort against a ranked opponent Saturday, but the result was another tough loss as the Hawks fell to No. 7 Monroe 9-6.

This past Tuesday, MVCC only trailed No. 3 Herkimer 6-3 at halftime and lost 11-6.  This time the Hawks only trailed 3-1 at halftime.

MVCC's defense, led by Whitesboro native Rick Harter in goal, had another outstanding game, but the Hawks' offense was even more smothered by Monroe's defense and cage-keeper Matt McShea.

MVCC is now 3-3 overall while Monroe improves to 6-4.
