LAGRANGE, Ga. – Easter weekend will be a quieter one for LaGrange College athletics, but the Panthers still will still be competing in several events.

Men's Lacrosse
The Panthers of the LaGrange College men's lacrosse team (1-7, 1-3 USA South) won their first game of the season last Saturday at Callawy Stadium with a resounding 23-1 victory over Brevard College in conference action. Senior Nicholas Murciano posted seven goals with four assists to lead the way while junior Candler Woods finished with five goals and four assists. Senior Tyler Abrams dished out eight assists with three goals. It is the first career victory for first-year LaGrange head coach Carter Brand.
LaGrange faces a tougher challenge this Saturday when they play host to the Falcons of Pfeiffer University (10-2, 5-0 USA South), the defensing conference champions. The Falcons are led by Dylan Sullivan (37 goals, 14 assists) and Ethan Miles (35 goals, 35 assists).
Game time is scheduled for 1:00 p.m. at Callaway Stadium.

Track & Field
The Panthers of the LaGrange College track and field program are coming off one of their best performances of their inaugural season at the Emory Thrills in the Hills competition in Atlanta, setting several school records and setting marks atop the Collegiate Conference of the South (CCS) rankings.
Ryheem Mighten, who only a week ago was named the CCS Track Rookie of the Week accolades, earned the CCS Track Athlete of the Week award, becoming the first Panther to claim that honor. Mighten delivered a strong all-around sprint performance at the Emory Thrills in the Hills meet in Atlanta this past weekend, competing across three events. The freshman highlighted his weekend with a first-place finish in the 100 meters, clocking an 11.02 in a field of 57 competitors. He added a seventh-place finish in the 200 meters (21.70) and placed sixth in the 400 meters with a time of 47.90. His 400 meters mark currently ranks first in the CCS this season.
Khristian Bell delivered a standout all-around performance at the Emory Thrills in the Hills meet last weekend in Atlanta, competing across sprints and jumps. The freshman placed third in the long jump with a mark of 5.43 meters and added a 13th-place finish in the triple jump (10.85 meters), with both marks setting new school records and landing her a first-place spot in CCS rankings this season. Bell also competed in the 100 meters (12.41) and 200 meters (26.49). Bell is the first student-athlete from the LaGrange women's track and field team to earn a CCS weekly award. She currently holds the LaGrange school records in the long jump and the triple jump.
LaGrange is back on the track this weekend when they travel to the Embry-Riddle Classic.

Men's & Women's Tennis
The LaGrange College men's and women's tennis teams travel to Covenant College on Friday for an 11:00 a.m. CCS match.
