IMPORTANT NILL Schedule Change

The NILL received word on Thursday that we would have to reschedule our March 4 lacrosse games because the DECC will not be available that day.  There will be not turf in Pioneer Hall on March 4 as the DECC staff prepare for another event.  Every effort was made to try to find a way to play our games on March 4, but we were told it would be impossible for us to play in the DECC next Sunday.  This is very unfortunate because we've already been off for almost 3 weeks and I know how much everyone wants to get back to playing lacrosse.

Our only option to complete the season as planned will be to have back to back doubleheaders on March 11 and March 18.  Because the times were already booked on the 11th and 18th, we will also not be able to move our first games up two hours as we usually do on doubleheader weekends.  This means that our games will start at 4:00 p.m. as previously planned and our last game will not start until 9:00 p.m.  I know this is less than ideal, but we don't have very many other options available to us.  This is the first year the DECC has had turf and we knew there would be issues.  It's too bad it has negatively affected our league, but we have to roll with the punches.  Unfortunately our schedule has been place for two months, but apparently the DECC events take precedence over everything. 

Here's what the schedule looks like after rescheduling:
