Tragedy at Marquette University: Two Lacrosse Players Killed in Crash
The Marquette University community is reeling after a devastating car crash claimed the lives of two lacrosse players, 19-year-old Scott Michaud and 20-year-old Noah Snyder. The accident occurred on September 5 near campus in Milwaukee, sending shockwaves through the student body. Four additional passengers were injured, three of whom are also members of the lacrosse program.
Police confirmed that the crash involved a 41-year-old driver, who has since been arrested. Authorities have not released the specific charges but confirmed the matter is under review by county prosecutors.
In response to the tragedy, Marquette canceled several athletic events and organized a special memorial mass to honor the young athletes. University leaders described Michaud and Snyder as “bright, passionate, and deeply loved members of the Marquette family,” urging students to lean on one another for support during this heartbreaking time.
Friends and teammates took to social media, calling the players “brothers for life” and sharing photos of them in uniform. Vigils are being planned on campus, with grief counselors available for students.
This tragedy comes as Marquette enters its fall semester, a time usually filled with anticipation and team bonding. Instead, the community faces immense sorrow, grappling with the loss of two promising athletes whose futures were cut short.
As investigations continue, the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office is expected to announce formal charges in the coming days. For now, Marquette stands united in grief, honoring the legacies of Michaud and Snyder.
