The men’s lacrosse team is prepared to play in any weather — hot, cold, snow or sunshine. Training starts in harsh January winter and extends into the spring. Fortunately for the athletes and attendees, the team’s home game against Marietta last Saturday had optimal weather with the sun being overcast and the temperature remaining in the mid 60s.
Ohio Northern remained in the lead for the entirety of the game, resulting in a score of 11-3. The men’s lacrosse team has started the 2025 season strong, boasting an overall record of 7-4, and they have six more games to go until the OAC Quarterfinals.
