Fear not, Lancers fans. The fall season is just around the corner. The first practices for Fall sports start on Aug. 4, the same day as orientation.

They begin with the Boys & Girls cross country teams starting at 8 a.m. at Babler State Park, followed by girls golf teeing up at The Landings at Spirit at 9. All other practices, including field hockey, football, boys soccer, softball, boys swimming & diving, girls tennis and girls volleyball, begin at 3 p.m. throughout various parts of the Lafayette campus.

It will be an exciting year for the Lancer Fall sports teams. These first practices should prove that.
