Saturday, April 12: On a windy April day at Strong Stadium, Beloit College’s Lacrosse program celebrated its annual Senior Day, honoring the contributions of each graduating senior.
The Men’s team kicked off the day by playing Concordia University Wisconsin. After three goals from the visitors, Sam Van Der Kolk’26 set up forward John Imbriale’28 for a goal, opening the scoring for the Bucs. Less than a minute later, midfielder Isaac Guttormson’27 put another ball past Concordia’s goalkeeper, making the score 3-2.
After a long scoring bout from the Falcons, Beloit’s offense reignited in the third quarter when Van Der Kolk set up Rilan Larmore’28 to take Beloit’s total goals to three. Later in the third, Liam Walker’26 scored his first goal of the game, taking his season total to 21. In the fourth quarter, Cole Conway’26 scored the final goal of the day, with the game ending in a 18-5 loss for the Bucs.

The Women’s team followed shortly after, suiting up to play Marian University (Wis.). After a scoring drought from the Bucs, attacker Willow Mashkuri’28 fired a goal past the Marian goalie in the second quarter, capitalizing on a man-up advantage. In the second half, attacker Julia Fussy’28 scored the second goal for the Bucs, going up unassisted to score her eighth of the season. This goal was the final one scored for the Bucs, with the game resulting in a 13-2 loss.
