PAXTON, MA : Grad student midfielder Nick Lawrence (North Attleboro, MA) scored two goals and passed for two assists as the Anna Maria College men's soccer team prevailed 5-0 against visiting Rivier University in Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) action on Saturday afternoon at Carposo Field in Paxton, Massachusetts.
