Lakers win, rededication honors Lubbers

The Lakers made themselves at home on their new field Saturday, winning 83-46 over Notre Dame (Ohio), in the first home game of the season.

While it was an impressive offensive record, it wasn’t a school record for most team points scored. In 1989, Grand Valley scored 91 points against Valparaiso. The crowd of 15,139 was the second biggest in Lubbers Stadium history.

Saturday marked the first time fans saw the stadium improvements, including more seats and a turf field. It was also a day to honor President Emeritus Arend D. Lubbers, who played a major role in advancing Grand Valley athletics during his time as president from 1969-2001.
