Springfield, Ohio – The Wittenberg men's lacrosse team celebrated the careers of five seniors yesterday afternoon before hosting the Lords of Kenyon College. The Tigers battled their NCAC rival on a rainy afternoon from Edwards-Maurer Field, as Wittenberg fell to the Lords 15-8 by the time the final horn sounded. The Wittenberg offense was fueled by Andrew Ellis and Matthew Welch scoring two goals apiece on the day. Tony LeBarge caused four of the six turnovers for the Wittenberg defense while picking up a team-high 13 groundballs on the afternoon.

Wittenberg fell behind early, as the Lords posted their first goal within the first minute of action.
