FAIRFIELD, Conn. — The Quinnipiac men's lacrosse program's postseason run came to an end in the semifinal round of the 2025 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference playoffs on Thursday afternoon, falling to Sacred Heart by a 18-11 final at the Campus Field.
The Pioneers came out hot, scoring seven of the games first eight goals to secure control of the contest but Nate Watson was able to power the offense back within three, finalizing his first-half hat trick to make it 7-4 with 8:46 to go in the half.
Sacred Heart retook control, however, stifling the Bobcat run for the rest of the half and scoring thrice in the final 2:36 to go up six at halftime.
Watson finished the day with three goals and three assists, while Nick Meoni was all over the midfield securing four ground balls and three caused turnovers.
