The Missouri State lacrosse team finished the 2009 regular season by defeating Division-I teams Kansas and Kansas State this past weekend. The Bears defeated Kansas 11-10 in double overtime Saturday then shut down Kansas State for a 13-3 win Sunday afternoon.

Against Kansas, Missouri State lead 6-4 at halftime before the Jayhawks rallied in the second half to tie it up. Dave Herber had four goals for the Bears and teammate Mark Jasper added three goals.

Missouri State finished the season 10-2 overall and 3-0 in the South Division of the Great Rivers Lacrosse Conference. The playoffs are next.

Missouri State receives a first-round bye and will play its first game, against either Dordt or Augustana, at 9 a.m. on Saturday. The title game is tentatively set for 10:30 a.m. Sunday, although that can change if No. 2 seed Wheaton (6-2, 4-0) makes it there.

Wheaton University sets aside Sunday for worship and doesn't allow athletics to be played. If Wheaton makes it, the title game would be 7:30 p.m. Saturday. All games are in St. Louis.

Looks like there was a slip up here cause clearly the baseball article and the info about the Director of Athletics candidates should be separate entities, which people will now have a harder time finding. (Continued…)
