During halftime at the women’s game, L&C will honor the Trailblazers Women’s Soccer team, who took their winning season all the way to the semi-final round at the National Junior College Athletic Association’s National Championship Tournament in Melbourne, Florida, in November 2019.

L&C’s mascot, Blazer, will be available beginning at 12:30 p.m. in the lobby outside the gym for a meet and greet and free photos. Blazer will also make an appearance during halftime at the men’s game to help with giveaways and a halftime contest, where spectators can compete for prizes.

Free hot dogs, chips and beverages will be offered throughout the event, while supplies last. Everyone in the door will receive a commemorative giveaway and Blazer swag, and have the chance to snag more during the games, which will be announced and broadcasted live by College Radio’s Best WLCA 89.9-FM.

For additional information about the event, please contact L&C Media Services Manager Laura Inlow at linlow@lc.edu or Athletic Director Doug Stotler at dstotler@lc.edu or (618) 468-6200.
