GEORGETOWN, TEXAS - Southwestern Men's Lacrosse (0-4) broke in Varsity Field for the first time in 2024 on Thursday night, taking on the Brewers of Vassar College (3-1) at 7:00 PM. The Pirates and the Brewers exchanged blows all throughout the first half of play. Ultimately, a five-goal quarter coming out of halftime for the Brewers ended up being the difference in the matchup. On a night when the Pirates couldn't come away with a win, the silver lining was junior attackman Cade McDonald, who eclipsed the century mark in points and now owns 104 in his career.
