ARNOLD, MD – Caden Cote scored four goals and assisted four others to lead the No. 6 Anne Arundel Community College men's lacrosse team to a 13-4 home win over Delaware Tech Saturday afternoon. The Riverhawks never trailed and were bolstered by Rahsaan Johnson's 15-of-19 performance at the faceoff x.

Gaeng fed Burns to lead off the third quarter before the teams traded goals through the rest of the third. It was slow going for both teams in the fourth until Delaware Tech's Connor Garrett hit an unassisted goal with five minutes remaining to make it 11-4 in favor of the Riverhawks. Gaeng connected with Cote twice more for the 13-4 final.

AACC outshot Delaware Tech, 51-13 and held a 40-13 advantage in groundballs. Hugh Edwards made four saves in the win, while Delaware Tech goalkeeper Joseph Niles stopped 22 shots.

The Riverhawks scored quickly in their only man-up opportunity of the game while holding Delaware Tech to no scores in five opportunities. AACC forced 17 of Delaware Tech's 29 turnovers, while committing just 19 in the game.
