Athletics
KENOSHA — The Carthage College men’s lacrosse team erased an early deficit and pulled even before halftime, but Elmhurst used a decisive second-half run to pull away for a 17-9 victory. The Firebirds battled back from four goals down in the opening half to tie the contest at seven late in the second quarter, only to see the Bluejays regain control with a strong third quarter and seal the result down the stretch.
