MUSTANG LACROSSE The 2021 Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference season continues along with the Ravens of Benedictine College paying their first visit to Tom Rosen Field. Head coach Jack O’Brien’s men’s team and head coach Caitlyn St. Marie’s women’s team are coming off the programs’ highest single-match goal tallies, which occurred as part of a weekend road trip to northeast and southeast Iowa on March 13 and 14. BC, led by women’s head coach Amanda Magee and men’s head coach Will Garrett, stands 2-1 overall and 2-0 in the KCAC on both sides of the ledger. An underclassman combo of sophomore midfielder/attacker Brendan Rorabacher and freshman attacker Brian Nathaniel produced goals for the men’s squad at Clarke on March 14. Rorabacher, as part of a heaping helping of offensive output at CC’s Competition and Practice Fields venue, was a constant nuisance to the Pride’s defense during the matinee, which the home side captured by a 16-2 count. He fired off 12 total shots, seven of which were on goal, and grabbed seven ground balls. In his first Maroon start, Nathaniel was just as solid with three total shots, of which two were on frame. Sophomore midfielder Jay’Von McKinney continued his impressive spring with five total shots, three of which were on goal, an assist, five ground balls, and two caused turnovers. The women’s team was felled by Clarke 18-3 in the doubleheader opener. After the hosts scored in the first 20 seconds, the Mustangs answered right back with sophomore attacker Macy Hajek ripped a shot into the back of the Pride net for a 1-1 tie. The home side responded with a four-goal run that put them in front to stay. Sophomore midfielder/attacker Lizeth Hilario and junior midfielder/forward Ashley Wilcox also tallied Mside goals. Wilcox’s score was part of a strong stat line, as she also picked up two ground balls. Freshman goalkeeper Natalie Hunt had a personal career-high 17 saves and seven recorded ground balls.
