Esports Completes Inaugural Fall Season

MILWAUKEE (WLCSports.com) - Wisconsin Lutheran College's Esports team wrapped up its inaugural fall 2022 season by qualifying for the November LAN tournament hosted by Carthage.

The Warriors began their first-ever season ranked 11th in their division of the Wisconsin Collegiate Rocket League, but climbed as high as fourth by season's end.

WLC picked up the program's first win during week three of the season with a 3-0 victory over UW-Milwaukee. The win sparked a streak of five straight triumphs that included victories over UW-Whitewater (twice), top-ranked Lakeland, and Edgewood. 

Wisconsin Lutheran played a total of 10 series, including two at the LAN tournament, and finished with a 5-5 record. 

"I am very proud of our players; Nate, Peter, and Joey for working so hard this fall," said first-year head coach Austen Eppen. "We were the underdogs this season, but were able to show that hard work and dedication proves results. Lastly, I am very excited for the growth of our program and where it will take us. Praise be to God!" 

The Warriors will resume play in the spring semester with series' beginning in February.
