CHICAGO—The Illinois Institute of Technology men's lacrosse team hit the road to Madison, Wisconsin to take on Edgewood College in a Saturday-afternoon affair. The Scarlet Hawks notched back-to-back wins for the first time ever in a 17-3 decision over the Eagles.

The Scarlet Hawks, who own a two-game win streak, improve to 2-5, 2-3 NACC while the first-year Eagles fall to 0-7, 0-5 NACC.

James Enterline continued to make the unheard-of transition from goalie to attack as he led all players with four goals on eight shots. A trio of Scarlet Hawks converted a hat trick courtesy of Aidan Gans, Spencer Meace and Aerex Freeman. Ryan Arbour's 10 shots paced an Illinois Tech team that outshot Edgewood 58-22. 

Christopher Stone's game-high 12 ground balls was a result of his 17-of-23 face-off percentage, while freshman Henry Rankin commanded the Illinois Tech defense with four caused turnovers. The Scarlet Hawks' arsenal was the man-up offense as they converted a 3-for-5 figure behind tallies from Enterline, Freeman and Reed Tangeman

Zane Handy got the start in goal for Illinois Tech, and made six saves over 45:00 of action before Jack Coyle and Dominic Reed each made one save throughout their times in net. 

The Scarlet Hawks will return to action on Tuesday, April 20 when they host Benedictine (Ill.) at Stuart Field. Game time is set for 7:00 p.m.
