PURCHASE, N.Y.--Junior midfielder Kyler Nigliazzo (Montgomery, Texas, Magnolia West) scored with less than a minute-and-a-half to go in the third overtime, giving the Westminster College men's lacrosse program an 11-10 victory over Manhattanville University Saturday afternoon at GoValients.com Field.
