SPRINGFIELD, Mass. â€" Senior co-captain Marco Le Gette (Severna Park, MD) scored four goals and junior CJ Annunciata (Waltham, MA) added two goals and two assists as lead top-seeded Western New England College rallied for a 10-6 victory over fourth-seeded Keene State College in a semifinal round game of the 2004 ECAC Division III New England Tournament.
