Kenney, a forward, capped the scoring on a pick-and-roll play with former Baltimore Bayhawk Matt Alrich (Calvert Hall) with 1:25 left for the Bombers, who improved to 2-0 in the North American Lacrosse League.
Forwards Ben Rubeor (Loyola High) and Andrew Wasik and transition player Pete Cannon added two goals each; for the second straight game, Wasik opened the scoring.
Kenney had two assists, and transition player Dan Deckelbaum (Owings Mills) scored a goal. Defenseman David Shortt (Loyola College) and Alrich, a forward, both had assists. Ginny Capicchioni made 34 saves in net.
