The Men's Lacrosse team hosted Augustana College on Sunday afternoon at Bahlke Field and on the second day of weekend games, the men's lacrosse team lost to the Vikings by a final score of 10-2.

"We came out a little flat in the first and spotted them the early lead," Alma head coach Jason Levesque said. "However, credit to the boys and their character for stepping up their level of play over the final 45 minutes. They showed a great deal of fight and competed hard, playing their second game in two days. I'm very proud of them today for that. We'll certainly be able to take some positives over the final three quarters as we grow and develop our young program."
