ANGOLA, Ind.-- The Trine men's lacrosse team has released its schedule for the 2016 season, the team announced Thursday.
The season opens Wednesday, Feb. 24 with a neutral-site contest against Centre College at the Legacy Center in Brighton, Mich. The Colonels compete in the Southern Atlantic Association. The opener is one of three neutral-site games the Thunder will play in the 2016 campaign. Trine placed fourth in the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association last season and projects to return all three of the team's All-MIAA performers from last year.
One of the highlights of the schedule is a spring-break that takes the Thunder to Texas. Trine will take on Southwestern University and will also face Kean University in a neutral-site game. The final neutral-site game of the year will come against Beloit in a yet-to-be determined location in the Chicago area.
Non-conference home games include matchups with Wilmington (Ohio) and Concordia Chicago, a first-year program. The nonleague slate also includes a trip to Baldwin Wallace. Four of Trine's non-conference foes had winning records last year.
The MIAA league slate includes home games against Kalamazoo, Calvin and Albion. The Hornets will be making their MIAA debut this spring as a first-year program. MIAA road trips include Alma, Adrian, Olivet and Hope.
