Ravens Secure Record-Breaking Win against Quakers

The Anderson University men's lacrosse team faced off against Earlham College and captured a commanding 21-1 victory during Wednesday's non-conference matchup in Richmond.

Anderson (6-5) dominated Earlham (2-9) from the start and was able to break four new school records and tie two other records as well. Most notably, the Ravens tied the school record for most team goals in a match (21), and junior Cole Whatley tied the school record with seven individual goals. Anderson fired 73 shots, blasting the school record of 61. The Ravens also eclipsed the shots on goal school record with 39.

There is no doubt that the offensive efforts of the Ravens helped them dominate the Quakers, but their defensive efforts were unmatched. The team set school records for fewest goals allowed in a match (1) and caused turnovers as a team (27).
