GRACE/BETHEL GAME TO MARK CLOSING OF LANCER GYM
With the opening of the Orthopaedic Capital Center this spring, Grace College Lancer basketball will have a new home next year. That means this is the last season that Grace will play in Lancer Gymnasium, which opened its doors in 1958.
At the last regular season men’s basketball game in the gym, Tuesday, February 13 at 7 p.m. between Grace and arch-rival Bethel College, halftime ceremonies will be dedicated to marking the close of this historic venue and to celebrate its significance in support of the school’s mission.
Alumni are invited to a pre-game reception at 6 p.m. at the Science Center lobby.
When completed, the Orthopaedic Capital Center will be the new home of the Lancer basketball and volleyball teams. Here are a few details:
