Middleton’s boys lacrosse team had two players earn postseason honors.

Goalie Jace Bauer was named all-state, while attacker Jack Schutte was named an Academic All-American.

Bauer, a junior, was named all-state in his first year as a starter. Bauer had a 65% save rate, allowed just 4.6 goals per game, and was also named first-team all-conference and Middleton’s Most Valuable Player.

“Jace has incredible explosion to the ball coupled with amazing patience waiting for the shooter to commit,” Middleton coach Sanford Erdahl said. “He is probably the most talented goalie I have seen in 10-plus years”.  

Shutte, a senior who graduated earlier this month, was also named first-team all-conference. Shutte is going to play for Division III powerhouse Dickinson next year.

“Schutte is a competitor on and off the field,” Erdahl said. “It shows with him winning first-team all-conference and academic all American.”

Middleton finished the year 13-2 overall and lost to Oregon in the postseason.

Prior to this season, the only Cardinals to earn any form of All-state honors were Nathan Kapp in 2017 and 2019 and Emmett Turley in 2013.
