WATERTOWN, Wis. -- Lakeland University was too hot to handle this afternoon, as the Sabercats fell 8-1 at home on a day they will want to forget.
Joshua Wright scored the only goal of the game with a crisp shot in the 24th minute, but it was all one-way traffic for Lakeland, who pick up their first win of 2023.

STORY
Lakeland's Michael Barragan got the visitors on the board with two early goals. Lakeland went up 3-0 thanks to their constant pressure in the opening 20 minutes, and right away, the Sabercats knew there was a mountain to climb.
Wright's goal came off of a corner from Mike Davis - after Wright's initial header was blocked, he pounced in the rebound and fired a shot from inside the box that the Lakeland goalkeeper couldn't touch. Just like that, the Sabercats were on the scoresheet.
But the visitors had a ready answer, equalizing just seven minutes later to take a 4-1 lead into halftime. Barragan would go on to complete his hat-trick in the 50th minute, and Lakeland's pernicious pressure produced three more goals before the final whistle.
Lakeland will conclude non-conference play with a game against Lawrence University before beginning Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference play next Wednesday.
