By Tim Glon
Ohio Northern men's lacrosse head coach Nat St. Laurent has been named one of six head coaches for the new professional lacrosse league, the Premier Lacrosse League.

St. Laurent will remain as head coach of the Ohio Northern men's team, a role he has held since founding the program in 2016.

The PLL unveiled the six head coaches who will lead its teams, beginning in June 2019. It is a group of some of the best leaders, strategists, and innovators that the game has known – headlined by National Lacrosse Hall of Fame member and four-time NCAA national champion, Dom Starsia.

You don’t expect to see an orchestra at a basketball game, but there were 20 members in the Ada pep band when the Bulldogs played Kalida. They played a rousing rendition of the National Anthem to start the evening, and played throughout the game, as well.
