Carthage Drops Conference Game to Illinois Wesleyan

KENOSHA, Wis. — Taking on a tough Illinois Wesleyan team in conference play, the Carthage men's lacrosse team fell 24-8 on Saturday at Art Keller Field.

The visitors took an early lead, scoring the first three goals of the game, before Andrew Frey got the Firebirds (8-4, 1-1 CCIW) on the board to make it 3-1 minutes into the match. However, the Titans (6-4, 2-0 CCIW) scored five unanswered to close out the first period. George Burchfield and Andrew Johnson found the back of the net for Carthage to make it a 10-3 game, but the home team would enter the locker room down 15-4 at halftime.

Three goals by the Firebirds helped cut their deficit to single digits, but they would trail by 12 heading into the fourth quarter. Illinois Wesleyan would go on to hand Carthage their first CCIW loss of the season.

The Firebirds will continue their conference schedule next weekend, as they travel to take on new associate member Transylvania on Saturday, April 16 at 1 p.m. eastern, noon central.
