COLLEGEVILLE, Pa. - The Illinois Wesleyan University men's lacrosse team saw its win streak halted at four with a loss to eighth-ranked Ursinus College Saturday afternoon, March 7.

Connor Kiichle also recorded two assists in the game. Junior Tanner Nelson (Hatfield, Pa.-North Penn) and senior Ty Collins (West Chicago, Ill.-Wheaton Academy) also net goals.

In goal, junior Will Harris (Bloomington, Minn.-Holy Angels) got the start and made five saves, and senior Benigno Houser (Hilliard, Ohio-St. Charles Prep) added eight stops in relief.
