Highlights
The Lakers completed a tough seven-game gauntlet to begin their Division I journey. Although they were unable to come away with a win, Mercyhurst has now seen nearly everything they may encounter in their first season in the NEC. Head Coach Rich Wall made it a point to get as many players experience as he could over the first seven games, something that will likely come in handy as they venture their way into NEC play soon.
