ROCHESTER, N.Y. -- Third-ranked RIT got goals from 16 different players Tuesday against Nazareth as the Tigers won their eighth straight men's lacrosse game as they defeated the Golden Flyers, 23-7.

RIT improved to 13-2 overall, while Nazareth dropped to 8-8. The Golden Flyers, 5-2 in Empire 8 Conference play, close out their regular-season schedule Saturday at home against Stevens at 1 p.m. Nazareth will likely be the third seed for next week's E8 Tournament and will visit second-seeded Ithaca for a first-round matchup Wednesday, May 3.

Nazareth's Paul Walter scored the first goal of the game off a pass from Hunter Burdick less than two minutes into the opening quarter, but the Tigers answered with nine straight goals that spilled into the second quarter.

Nazareth got second-period scores from Burdick and Anthony Basile, but RIT scored the final goal of the half and 10 straight after Basile's goal to up 22-3 in the fourth quarter.

Nazareth finally strung together some scoring chances in the fourth quarter as Jacob Gray, Nick Arnold, Ben Bickford and Joe Eiskant each found the back of the net, but it was too late to make an impact on the final outcome.

Ryan Lee scored three goals and added two assists to pace the Tigers, who got two goals each from Chad Levick, Brendan McDonald, Kyle Killen and Julien Guay. In addition to Nazareth's seven different goal scorers, Walter, Eiskant, Burdick and Arnold had assists as did Matthew May.

Nazareth used three different goalies. Alex Winkler started and made three saves. Andrew Leahey came on in the second quarter and had three more saves and Rick Kronenwett played the fourth quarter and made five stops. Seth DeLisle went 19-for-29 on faceoffs and Luke Longo had a game-high seven ground balls.
