Lacrosse Home Openers Highlight Kickoff Weekend

OWINGS MILLS, Md. - The Stevenson University men's and women's lacrosse teams open their 2009 seasons at home this Saturday as part of spirited weekend on the Owings Mills campus that features bingo, a pancake breakfast and live bands.

The men host a non-conference contest with Widener at the Caves Athletics Complex beginning at noon before the women face CAC rival Marymount (Va.) at 3:00 p.m.

The weekend gets underway Friday night with the annual men's lacrosse kickoff banquet in Rockland at 6:00 p.m., followed by a BINGO Blowout featuring Wild Stang and the Stevenson cheerleaders.

The event will run from 8-10 p.m., and be held in the bubble next to the Sports and Wellness Center. The cost will be $5 for 20 games with the proceeds benefiting the alternative spring break trip to New Orleans as part of the Katrina Relief Project.

Students will have the chance to win a 42-inch flat screen television, plus all attendees have the chance to win more than $500 worth of other prizes and gift certificates.

Following the BINGO Blowout, Stevenson's own Olyver James and Falltown will play from 10 p.m., to midnight.

Prior to the game on Saturday, students, faculty, staff, alumni and families are invited to a FREE pancake and sausage tailgate breakfast in the bubble from 10-11:30 a.m. Those interested in attending should RSVP Carol Brady at cjbrady@stevenson.edu.

The men's lacrosse team finished 13-4 last season and have been ranked in the top-10 in all four Division III polls this preseason, including as high as No. 5 by Inside Lacrosse.

Meanwhile, the women's lacrosse team totaled a school record 12 wins a year ago, finishing 12-5 with wins in seven of its final eight games and advancing to the semifinals of the CAC Women's Lacrosse Championship.
