BLOOMINGTON, Ill. - The Illinois Wesleyan University men's lacrosse team begins its 2020 season Sunday, Feb. 16, when it hosts Rhodes College in non-conference action. Game time is scheduled for 12 p.m. inside Tucci Stadium.

Rick Smith (Frankfort, Ill.-Lincoln Way East), the CCIW's Newcomer of the Year in 2019, earned first team honors along with Daniel Dickerson (Wheaton, Ill.-St. Francis College Prep), and Patrick Murphy (Palatine, Ill.-St. Viator). Max Bousky (Peoria, Ill.-Peoria Notre Dame), Ty Collins (West Chicago, Ill.-Wheaton Academy), and Benigno Houser (Hilliard, Ohio-St. Charles Prep) garnered second team selections.
