Women’s lacrosse 2016 schedule set

Grand Valley State’s women’s lacrosse team will face a tough slate of opponents when the 2016 season rolls around. The three-time defending GLIAC regular season and tournament champions enter the upcoming season as favorites to once again win the GLIAC and enter the NCAA tournament. Reigning Division II North Region Coach of the Year Alicia Groveston will roam the sidelines, as the Lakers return from one of the seasons in program history that included a program best 15 wins. The Lakers’ schedule is headlined by out of state trips to Florida, Missouri, Massachusetts and New York, in a non-conference slate that always challenges GVSU before the GLIAC season starts.

The GVSU men’s ice hockey team is off to a 3-0 start for the 2015 campaign. The Lakers have dominated competition, as they have outscored their opponents by a combined score of 27-7. In a recent two-game road trip to Iowa, GVSU swept the Hawkeyes by scores of 6-2 and 3-2, with Spencer Godin scoring a late game-winner in the second match. GVSU is slated to travel to Missouri for the Lindenwood University Invitational from Oct. 9 – 11 to play against Dayton, Florida Gulf Coast and Southern Illinois. The Lakers will return home next with an Oct. 16 matchup against Bowling Green State.
