ONU to honor alumnus with England Gate dedication ceremony

Ohio Northern University will dedicate Dial-Roberson Stadium’s new gate and entrance plaza, the England Gate, named in honor of alumnus Dale “Bud” England Jr., on Saturday, Sept. 22, at 11 a.m.

England, who graduated from Ohio Northern with a Bachelor of *Science in business administration in 1969, is the very definition of a proud Polar Bear. As a student-athlete, he gave his all to help his team. As an alumnus, he continues to do so.

ONU men's soccer drops a tough one to Ohio Wesleyan

By Andrew Korba

The No. 8 Ohio Northern men's soccer dropped a tough 2-0 contest to No. 21 Ohio Wesleyan Wednesday night at Roy Rike Field.

The Polar Bears fall to 7-2-0 while the Battling Bishops improve to 6-1-1.

Ohio Wesleyan jumped on the board in the 11th minute when Colton Bloecher put the ball in the net.

The Battling Bishops extended their lead to 2-0 on a goal by Matt Shadoan in the 56th minute.

It appeared ONU got on the board in the 66th minute when senior Cameron Johnson put the ball in the net.

But the Polar Bears were whistled for offsides and the goal was waved off.
