A last second goal by Garret Kerr, his third of the game, propelled the men's lacrosse team to a thrilling 11-10 victory over St. John's Monday afternoon at the Quinnipiac Lacrosse Field.

The Bobcats regained the lead on a goal by Bill Hayes, but Michaelsen's second of the period quickly tied up the score at 3-3.
