Ann Arbor, Mich. – The University of Michigan Men’s Lacrosse team will take the field next Thursday, December 10, when they participate in their annual East-West intra-squad scrimmage at Oosterbaan Fieldhouse in Ann Arbor.   Action will kick off at 7:00pm EST as the split squads will battle for bragging rights for their respective regions. Assistant Coaches Ken Broschart and AT Bulus will guide the East team, while fellow assistants Mark Greaney and Ryan Demorest will lead the West squad.   The game will mirror a regular-season contest with a complete officiating crew as the Wolverines take the field in their last organized on-field activity before the start of the New Year.

The Wolverines will then have the remainder of the semester to focus on their studies before returning to practice in early January in preparation for the defense of their back-to-back MCLA National Championships. The Maize and Blue will open their season with a pair of scrimmages before heading west for a tough, three-game road swing vs. Arizona State, Arizona, and Brigham Young.

The release isn't clear whether the ticket prices will be the same as regular season games, but the worst-case scenario is $6 for general admission, $3 for students with an ID. This is a great chance to catch a game for one of the most successful programs on campus, even though they're a club varsity team. Should be an interesting opportunity for the West squad to show that good lacrosse players don't just come from the East Coast.
