A trip to Nebraska is an intriguing prospect. It’s hard to know what to expect — there’s really not a whole lot there. Except for an NCAA powerhouse in men’s soccer, that is.
On Saturday, the Quakers looked to their past to get ready for their future. In a final tune up before the season, the sprint football team held its annual alumni game, as the team took on recent graduates of the program.
