Lakeland hosts winless Eureka on Saturday for Senior Day, looking to snap a four-game losing streak. The Muskies enter at 2-5 overall and 1-4 in the Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference; Eureka is 0-6 and 0-4 in conference play. Lakeland has won the teams’ last five meetings, including a 40-12 victory last season.

By the Numbers
  • Kickoff: Saturday, Oct. 24, at noon.
  • Lakeland has won 5 straight games against Eureka.
  • Caleb Besaw has 52 catches, 568 receiving yards and 9 touchdowns this season.
  • 17 Lakeland players will be recognized for Senior Day.
Yes, But

Lakeland’s recent series edge contrasts with its current form: the Muskies have lost four straight conference games. Their latest loss was a 43-34 defeat despite quarterback Cy Lumbano-Larson throwing for 307 yards and four touchdowns. Eureka has struggled even more, with a 13-game losing streak dating to last season.

State of Play
  • Besaw leads the NACC in receiving yards and touchdowns, and ranks second in receptions.
  • Eureka’s last game was a 55-12 loss to Concordia Wisconsin on Oct. 10; the Red Devils were off last week.
  • Lakeland will honor 17 players before its second-to-last home game of the season.
What's Next

Lakeland will try to turn its historical advantage and Besaw’s production into a home win while celebrating its seniors. Eureka will seek its first victory of the season.

Bottom Line

It’s a chance for Lakeland to halt its slide on Senior Day, but the Muskies will need to convert their offensive production into a complete finish against a struggling Eureka team.
