ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The No. 20-ranked University of Michigan men's lacrosse team (1-0) travels to Milwaukee, Wis., for a Saturday non-conference matchup with Marquette (Feb. 7) at Valley Fields. The game will be streamed live on ESPN+.
Notes
• Michigan set a program record to open the 2026 season when it scored 24 goals against Mercyhurst. The Wolverines broke the previous program record of 23 goals in a single game, set on Feb. 22, 2022, against Canisius. U-M went on a 14-1 run to open the game and finished with another 10 straight goals.
• Freshman Luke Shannehan notched his first career honor as he was named the Big Ten Freshman of the Week on Tuesday (Feb. 3) following a team-best seven points in his first career outing. Shannehan posted five goals and added two assists for seven points, six of which came in the first half.
• Four Wolverines recorded hat tricks against Mercyhurst, with Shannehan leading the way with five goals. Alex Lobel and Nick Roode added four each and Bo Lockwood netted three. In all, 12 players found the back of the cage, with six scoring their first career goals as Wolverines.
• Freshman Tay Rodriguez won 11 faceoffs in his first time out against Mercyhurst and Jack Rideout matched him with 11 of his own and scored one goal.
• Junior Kevin Kearns is Michigan's male nominee for the Big Ten Jackie Robinson Community and Impact Award. Kearns founded and organized a nationwide College Lacrosse 9/11 Stair Climb, where the men's and women's lacrosse teams ran 110 flights of stairs in the Big House and raised $80,000 for families of FDNY first responders through the Michael J. Cawley Memorial Foundation. Kearns is a 2025-26 Team Impact Fellow, taking charge of welcoming Lukas as a member of the Michigan men's lacrosse family for the upcoming spring season.
• Head coach Kevin Conry enters his ninth season at the helm of the Michigan program and returns both Jim Rogalski as the associate head coach and defensive coordinator while adding Will Corrigan as the offensive coordinator and Liam Entenmann as his third assistant. Conry has brought the U-M program to new heights, winning back-to-back Big Ten Tournament Championships in 2023 and 2024, as well as making two straight NCAA Tournament appearances and boasting the first All-America citations in the history of the program.
• Michigan will host five regular-season games at U-M Lacrosse Stadium, including games against Maryland (March 28) and Rutgers (April 5) on Big Ten Network.
• U-M returns to Ann Arbor for a pair of home games against Detroit Mercy in a midweek contest Tuesday (Feb. 10) at 5 p.m. and concludes the week against Lehigh on Saturday (Feb. 14).
