Rivalry to Feature Television and Record Crowd

Ann Arbor, Mich. - This upcoming Saturday, April 21, the #5 University of Michigan men’s lacrosse team will be able to display their talents to an even broader audience than usual as their contest vs. #20 Michigan State will be broadcast on Comcast Local Sports.  The game will take place in Birmingham, Michigan at Birmingham-Seaholm High School at 7:30pm EST and should also feature a crowd of nearly 6,000. 

Comcast Local Sports is a 24-hour regional sports network serving Indiana and Michigan focusing on Collegiate and High School sports.  In Ann Arbor, Comcast Local Sports can be found on channel 8 while Lansing residents can find the network on channel 22.  Please check your local listings for the correct channel and broadcast time in your area.

The game will feature two teams with perfect conference records looking to finish off their regular season with a win as they head into the CCLA Conference Championship.  With a victory, the Wolverines would capture the regular-season title, and a #1 seed headed into the conference playoffs.
