The Tiger men's lacrosse team struggled through a tough week, falling 13-4 to Kenyon in an NCAC game on Wednesday and then losing 11-5 to Wooster in an NCAC game on Saturday. The losses guaranteed the Tigers no better than a fifth-place finish in the conference standings.
Against Kenyon, the Tigers took a 2-0 lead in the first quarter, but were outscored 13-1 in the second and third stanzas. Freshman Mike Sweeney (Cincinnati, Ohio/Indian Hill) finished with two goals to lead the Tiger offense, while junior goaltender Kyle Prussing (Concord, Mass./Concord-Carlisle) made six saves.
Against Wooster, senior Dan Patterson (St. Louis, Mo./DeSmet Jesuit) and junior Hans Rydquist (Hudson, Ohio/Hudson) had two goals apiece. But the Tigers dug themselves a 10-2 hole before coming alive in the fourth quarter for three goals.
This week, the Tigers will face the same nationally ranked opponent twice. A twice re-scheduled home game against Ohio Wesleyan is slated for Tuesday at Edwards-Maurer Field, and the return game, which will not count toward the conference standings, is on the docket for Saturday.
