LOWELL, Mass. – Highlighted by 22 games at LeLacheur Park and tough road tests against Dallas Baptist and Bryant, UMass Lowell Baseball Head Coach Ken Harring announced the clubs full 2015 schedule on Tuesday.
“The 2015 schedule is challenging from start to finish,” said HarrIng. “In making a schedule, we are looking to challenge the team in tough baseball environments so we are prepared when we play our conference games.”
