Spring Varsity Sports Review
Wins and losses cloud the spring season thus far
Spring sports are well underway — in fact, they’re almost over! Before May approaches, check out how our varsity athletes have been faring as the weather warms up.
Baseball - The Engineers started their season with a six-game losing streak and currently sit at 10-12 (5-2 in conference). Their offense has been powered by outfielder John Spivey ’28, who currently leads the team in home runs and runs batted in (RBIs). He is one of six Engineers batting above .300 this season. The team’s pitching has been held down by Mason Estrada ’27 and Cole Foster ’26, both of whom have struck out more than 25 batters this season.
The Engineers have 11 games remaining in their season. They will visit the U.S. Coast Guard Academy on Saturday for a double-header matchup.
Softball – MIT Softball is off to a strong start, currently sitting at 14–6 (5–3 in conference). Outfielder Delanie Benevides ’28 leads the offense with a .433 batting average, while Ava Ladd ’26 tops the team in RBIs with 20. On the mound, Caroline Langmeyer ’26 anchors the pitching staff with an 8–1 record, 40 strikeouts, and a 2.91 earned run average (ERA).
Softball is slated to take on Salve Regina University in a double-header on Briggs Field this Friday.
Men’s Lacrosse - Men’s Lacrosse sits at 5-6 (3-2 in conference), putting them at 4th in the NEWMAC. They recently ended a 0-4 stretch with two straight wins, bringing them to their current record. They have two games remaining on their schedule before the NEWMAC Tournament.
Men’s Lacrosse hosts Wheaton College this Saturday on Roberts Field at 1 p.m.
Women’s Lacrosse - Women’s Lacrosse currently sports a 7-7 record (6-1 in conference), sitting at 3rd in the NEWMAC behind Springfield College and Babson College. They’ve struggled against out-of-conference teams and have notably gone winless against ranked competition (0-4 against teams ranked by the Intercollegiate Women’s Lacrosse Coaches Association). They have two games remaining before the NEWMAC Tournament, and are primed to make a push for higher seeding.
