A South Carolina college is investigating its own students after a reported incident during which they are accused of yelling racist remarks at Howard University’s women’s lacrosse team during a match.

In a statement, Presbyterian College, located in Clinton, S.C., said that an hour before its faceoff against the HBCU, a group of students outside of the stadium yelled racist remarks toward players and coaches.

According to The Hill, Presbyterian said its administration has begun gathering facts and reaching out to those directly impacted. They also say those found responsible will face consequences.

“First, let us be clear: No visitor to our campus should be subject to that kind of treatment, and this type of behavior is completely unacceptable. It is in no way aligned with the expectations and values of the college. We apologize to the Howard University women’s lacrosse coach and her players, and we deeply regret the experience they had on our campus,” the school said in a statement. “We must hold ourselves accountable and do better as a community to ensure all visitors to our campus are treated with dignity and respect.”

USA Lacrosse board member Brian Silcott posted on Twitter that his wife, Karen Healy-Silcott, who coaches Howard’s women’s lacrosse team, encountered racial slurs coming from a group of white male students at the game.

2. I hope there is a significant consequence for the students yelling racist slurs.

Expel them? Make them sit out a couple of quarters? Something meaningful I hope.

5. Maybe those schools that don't punish these cretins should not be able to play in those leagues

It will hurt their athletes not having opponents that will challenge them.

8. This is the one thing I just don't understand.

Why is it some people can't get beyond racism? There's no sense to be made of it.
