ANGOLA, Ind.-- Wednesday night's season-opener for Trine men's lacrosse has been cancelled due to the forecast for frigid temperatures.
The Thunder was scheduled to face Beloit in a neutral-site contest at Benedictine College in Lisle, Ill. at 8 p.m. There are no plans to rescheduled the game. Trine will now open the season this Saturday, Feb. 28 at Augustana. First face-off is set for 3 p.m. CST (4 EST). The Vikings will already have two games under their belts prior to the matchup. They enter the week 0-1.
Trine is coming off a season in which the Thunder tied for third in the MIAA. Trine was picked to finish fourth in the MIAA by the conference's coaches in the league preseason poll.
The team returns All-MIAA performers Jordan Backer (Centerville, Ohio/Centerville) and Chris Ward (Oak Lawn, Ill./St. Rita).
