Ohio Northern University will formally dedicate the newly renovated track and field and soccer complex as “Kerscher Stadium” during a ceremony prior to the ONU women’s soccer game against Capital University on Saturday, Oct. 17, at 2:15 p.m.
The stadium is named in honor of Robert Kerscher and his wife, Barbara Kerscher. Robert Kerscher, a member of the ONU Board of Trustees, is the founder, retired chair and chief executive officer of Lexi-Comp Inc., an Ohio-based medical publisher.
