Two Marquette Golden Eagles men’s lacrosse players were killed in a car crash on Friday night near the university’s main campus in Milwaukee, officials said.
The victims were identified as Noah Snyder and Scott Michaud.
“Please keep Noah and Scott’s parents, siblings and families, and the Marquette Athletics and college communities in your prayers,” Marquette president Kimo Ah Yun said in a statement on social media. “Noah and Scott’s lives were taken too soon and we share in the heartbreak of their teammates, coaches and those who knew them personally.”
Snyder, 20, was an attackman for the team. The sophomore was a college of business administration student from Irving, New York. Michaud, 19, was a goalie for the lacrosse squad. The sophomore was a biomedical sciences major from Springboro, Ohio.
Both men were named to the Big East Conference’s All-Academic Team in their first years at the school for maintaining a 3.0 GPA average.
