BETHANY, West Virginia - April 8, 2026 - For the first time in program history, Hiram men's lacrosse earned consecutive conference victories – which also gave the team six wins for the season, tied for the most in program history – following a 15-3 victory over Bethany on Wednesday late afternoon.

The Terriers continued to etch their mark on the record books with a steady performance against the Bison; the team scored multiple goals in every period and only allowed one goal through the first three quarters. The 12-goal margin of victory is also tied for the program's biggest win in the 13-year history of the all-time matchup against Bethany.

Kellen Wetz was again the star of the show, tallying 8+ points for the second straight game (five goals, three assists). Will Minggia stepped in and tied a career-high with four goals of his own, while Jack Cook also tied a career-high with three goals. 

On the defensive end, Ethan Bitong tied for the third-most caused turnovers in a single game in program history (six), while Issac Ray had a game-high 11 ground balls. On face-offs, Remi DeSmith had four wins to round out the biggest contributions.

Hiram didn't let up throughout the contest, with Cook, Minggia and Wetz each scoring twice in the first half alone. Bethany scored its first goal early in the second quarter, but the lead stood at 6-1 heading into the intermission.

More of the same dominance ensued in the second half, with Tyler Wolke joining in on the scoring action with his third goal of the year. Wetz was also a playmaker, recording all three of his assists in the third quarter.

Aidan Griffin earned the win as the starting goalkeeper, posting eight saves in a continued stellar senior season.

Hiram returns to competition on Saturday, when it hosts Westminster at 3 p.m. from Henry Field in Hiram, OH.
