With the season in full swing, here’s what’s happening this weekend for the Ithaca College spring sports teams.

The baseball team has three games in Elmira, New York, this weekend against Elmira College. On April 8, the team plays a doubleheader with games starting at 1 and 3:30 p.m. Then, the Bombers take on Elmira for one last contest on April 9 at 1 p.m. After dropping a game earlier this week to SUNY Brockport, the team is looking to get back on track with a win this weekend.

On April 8, the South Hill squad takes on Nazareth College at Kostrinsky Field at 1 and 3 p.m. Following this, the Bombers will face St. John Fisher College on April 9 at 1 and 3 p.m. The Bombers won both games in a doubleheader against Houghton College this past Wednesday.

The men’s lacrosse team travels for a conference matchup against Nazareth College in Rochester, New York, on April 8 at 1 p.m. After two consecutive heartbreaking overtime losses, the team wants to improve their record.

Women’s lacrosse is home April 7 at 4 p.m. against SUNY Geneseo in a nonconference matchup. A win this weekend would keep its undefeated home record alive after dropping a game to the nationally ranked William Smith College on April 4.

Men’s tennis plays on April 8 in Ewing, New Jersey, to take on The College of New Jersey at 9 a.m. The team looks to remain undefeated in conference play.
