The month of March was filled with accomplishments for our student-athletes. With many leagues in full swing, many of our NLU alumni have been in action and have been making an impact! Back here on Canadian soil, we have continued our success on the recruitment front with a number of new commitments for the class of 2021! In this week’s post on THE BLOG, we will highlight some of the great successes of our student athletes that occurred this past month!
