The Bluffton University men made the trip to Oberlin College for a special appearance under the lights on Monday, Sept. 23. The result did not favor the Beavers as the home team would pour it on (7-0) behind two goals apiece from Joe Graybeal and John Ingham.
Bluffton University will host an exhibition of ceramic sculpture by award-winning 1956 graduate Jack Earl, beginning Sept. 30 in the Grace Albrecht Gallery of the Sauder Visual Arts Center.
