Waking up early in the morning, having classes from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m., then heading to the weight room, then straight to practice until about 7 p.m., doing homework until the middle of the night, and repeating it all the next day. That is a typical day in the life of a student-athlete in college.
In front of nearly 1,000 fans at Ortmayer Stadium, La Verne lost for the second time this season in its home opener against No. 25-ranked Willamette on Saturday, 44-0.
Wanting to end the season on a high note, the La Verne football team tried for another win but lost to Chapman, 31-27, ending the season with a 1-8 overall record.
