PREVIEW! Five Teams at Home; Golf at Leagues

By Sacha Genis '22

The regular season is winding down for most, while golf is into the post-season this weekend as seven different teams compete over the next three days. Each of those who are home are hosting senior games, including men's and women's track & field, softball, women's lacrosse and baseball. 

Golf is looking to defend its Liberty League championship in Verona, N.Y., baseball begins its weekend at Union before hosting the Dutchmen on Sunday and men's lacrosse goes to Ithaca for its final game of the regular season with the winner qualifying for the conference tournament. 

Below is a summary of each of the contests, along with direct links to follow the action. All coverage links can also be found HERE
