We will be the visiting team for the championship game. Our sections will be 212 and 214 behind the Mount Union bench, and the ticket cost is $15 plus processing fees when using the access code below. Below is a link for accessing the Ticketmaster site that will be active at 10 a.m. on Friday, March 17 that will allow you to purchase tickets in these designated sections.
