GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – The Calvin men's lacrosse team moved to 2-1 on the season with an 8-5 win over visiting Concordia (Wisc.) Saturday afternoon at Eagles Stadium.

Calvin fought through cold conditions to pull away for the win. Fourth quarter goals from Christian Coler (Ionia, NY/ Honeyoye Falls-Lima and Josh Newhouse (Grand Junction, Co./Palisade HS) gave the Knights the cushion they would need to seal the victory.

Calvin led 4-3 after on quarter of play, using a pair of early goals from Newhouse and single goals from Cole McKenney and Nick Griffith (Geneva, Fla./Ovideo HS) to build an early lead.

The second quarter proved to be a quiet one with the only goal of the quarter coming from Coler on a feed from junior Ethan Boelens (Round Lake, Il./Grayslake Central HS).

Concordia (1-1) scored midway through the third quarter to cut the deficit down to 5-4 but Calvin senior Ethan Curtis (Grand Rapids, Mich./Forest Hills Northern HS) scored unassisted in the closing minutes of the quarter to put the Knights back up two at 6-4.

Cole then hooked up with Cole McKenney (Mission Veijo, Ca./Trabuco Hills HS) to put the Knights up 7-4 midway through the fourth and Newhouse followed with a man-up goal less than a minute later off an assist from senior Robert Miner (Littleton, Co./Columbine HS).

Calvin finished the game with a 36-25 shots at goal advantage.

Junior Corgan Schaumburg (Rockton, Il./ Hononegah) had nine saves in goal for Calvin with sophomore Carter Sherman (Ada, Mich./Lowell HS) also coming up with a save off the bench.
