Norse baseball team to meet West Georgia this weekend |
|
HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. - The Northern Kentucky University baseball team is ranked No. 16 nationally in the latest NCAA Division II poll. The Norse, who posted a 37-24 record and captured the Great Lakes Valley Conference championship last year, will open the 2003 season this Sunday at Carrollton, Ga., with a 1 p.m. doubleheader at the University of West Georgia. NKU was scheduled to begin its season last weekend with a three-game series at Lincoln Memorial University, but rain forced the series to be canceled. The Norse were also forced to cancel this weekend’s home doubleheader with West Virginia State College due to snow. NKU is picked as the co-favorite in the GLVC preseason coaches poll. The Norse shared the No. 1 position in the poll with the University of Indianapolis. NKU finished with a No. 21 national ranking in the NCAA Division II poll last season. |
