Ohio in the last three years, head

The Penguins will open their season on Sept. 10 at the Mel

season, YSU will travel to State
College, Pa. for the Spiked Shoe
Invitational on Sept. 24 and to
South Bend, Ind. for the Notre Dame

Penguins will then compete in the
All-Ohio Championship at Ohio
Wesleyan University in Delaware,
Ohio, on Oct. 7 before returning to
State College for the Penn State
National Invitational. Wright State
will host the Horizon League
Championship at John Bryan State
Park in Yellow Springs, Ohio, on
Oct. 29. The regular season will
close with a trip to the Great Lakes
Regional in Bloomington, Ind. on

The men's squad will look to jump back into the top three
teams in the Horizon League, a
position they've held for 11 of the
past 12 years, after finishing
fourth last season. The women's
squad also finished fourth last
season and returns six of its eight
runners from last season. |
