Celebrating a new Outdoor Athletic Center
Senior James Sather (#10) and freshman Josh Higginson (#15) battled an opposing player for the ball during the men’s soccer Homecoming match versus MSOE. The Warriors fell to the Raiders 3-0. Seven teams hosted home athletics events on October 1.
The Warriors rushed onto the field from the tunnel in the Outdoor Athletic Center, ready to take on the Maranatha Crusaders at Raabe Stadium. Ground was broken in early April for the building, which was finished in time for the first Warriors football game in September.
