Men's Lacrosse Claims Home Win Over Capital

By: Athletic Communications Student Assistant Joe Meyer '24

BEREA, Ohio - The Baldwin Wallace University men's lacrosse team won its twelfth straight game as it defeated Capital University in an Ohio Athletic Conference contest by a final score of 8-3 on the Tressel Field inside of the George Finnie Stadium. 

BW (12-2, 6-0 OAC) was led by senior All-OAC attack/midfielder Kyler Byerly (Pittsburgh, Pa./North Allegheny), as he tallied a game-high five points, including four goals and an assist. Freshman attack/midfielder Bennet Trout (Pickerington/North) added a career-high and game-high three assists. BW's strong defensive effort was highlighted by senior All-OAC goalkeeper Joe Storner (Louisville, Ky./St. Xavier), as he allowed just three goals, recording 11 saves and a .786 save percentage.

Capital (9-4, 4-2 OAC) was led by senior goalkeeper Sam McInturf and his 18 saves, which helped to keep Capital within striking range for much of the afternoon.
