EVENT
All of the Lights

Andrus

I know that word has spread around well enough, but to bring it all home, Wesleyan Football will be playing in the first ever NESCAC nighttime game this Saturday! According to Joe, this is a big deal. Come to Corwin Stadium (on Andrus Field) at 6 PM, and support your Cards as they take on the Jumbos. Face paint is encouraged.

Before heading over to the football game, watch the Field Hockey team, led by their captains Amber Bruckner ’14, Blair Ingraham ’14, and Taylor Wells ’14, battle the Bates ‘Cats at noon on Smith Field. Let the excitement build even more at 1:30 PM on Jackson Field when the Men’s Soccer team also takes on Bates.

This will be a great day for our community. When else would we expect 10,000 people to be on campus in one day? So please come out to cheer on our teams, tailgate, and engage in joyful revelry.

Good Luck to the Class of 2017

Do not believe the naysayers who claim that Wesleyan students do not support or appreciate athletics. If you are attempting to relive your high school glory days, looking to get or stay fit, or trying out a new sport, Wesleyan has what you are looking for.
