The La Verne Leopards faced off against the Whittier Poets for a wet and rainy Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Homecoming football game with La Verne coming out the victors, 43-20, after big plays and even bigger lightning strikes on Oct. 15 at Ortmayer Stadium.
The football team’s offense was absent in its 51-7 loss to Redlands on Saturday at Ortmayer Stadium.
The Leopards last victory against the Bulldogs was in 2015.
One year, five months, and 20 days. That is how long it took University of La Verne football player Cole Roberts to achieve his goal of stepping onto the field of Ortmayer Stadium after a severe two car accident that doctors once thought would leave him unable to walk.
