With a share of the MIAA regular season championship on the line, the Alma College Men's Lacrosse team welcomed league-leading Albion College to campus for a game at Bahlke Field. The Scots would struggle in the regular season finale, dropping the 20-6 decision to the Britons on Saturday.

"Well, I can honestly say that was not the game we were hoping it would be," said Alma Head Coach Michael Kinney. "We had a tough day at the office today and Albion capitalized on every mistake we made."

"This loss doesn't diminish our success this year and our men have raised the bar all season long. Today just wasn't our day.  We finish the regular season with some amazing positives like two win streaks of three games each and a four-game winning streak in conference that helped us capture a third place finish in the MIAA."

 "We set a lot of goals this year and we've reached most of them. I'm not sure playing for a share of first place was on our to do list, but it will be from now on. Couldn't be more proud of these young men and their commitment to this program."

With the loss, Alma finishes the regular season with an 11-5 record and 4-2 mark in the MIAA. The Scots will enter the MIAA Tournament for the first time in program history as the third seed and will take on second-seeded Adrian College on April 29. The Bulldogs got the better of the Scots earlier this season in a thrilling 10-9 affair at Bahlke Field.

With a perfect 6-0 mark in the MIAA, Albion earns its first ever MIAA regular season title.

The visitors would get on the board in less than a minute to take the early 1-0 lead, before Jr. D Sam Korbel (Schaumburg, IL/Schaumburg) collected his first goal of the season to knot the score at 1-1 with 12:55 left to go in the first quarter.

Following three-straight Albion goals, the Scots would capitalize on a man-up opportunity with a goal by Jr. MF Marshall Argenta (Stafford, NY/Notre Dame) off a feed from Sr. MF Tyler Bennett (New Lothrop/New Lothrop), bringing the score to 4-2 at 5:04.

The visitors would then take firm control of the game, scoring six-straight goals to go in to halftime up 13-3.

Argenta rang the bell to start the second half off an assist by Jr. MF/A Kyle Schnitzer (Aurora, CO/Smoky Hill) to cut the deficit to nine at 14:36.

The Britons started the fourth with two more scores to stretch the lead to 20-5 at 10:41.

Irrer would end the game with a goal off a find by So. MF/A TJ Miller (Brighton/Brighton) to bring the final score from Bahlke Field to 20-6.
