"We are excited to welcome back our alumni," said Bill Jackson, athletic director and head baseball coach. "The Laker athletic programs have a long-standing tradition of success both on the field and in the classroom. Our alumni are the ones who have paved the way for our current Laker student-athletes and have set the standards high. We truly enjoy the opportunity to welcome our former student-athletes back to campus."

All former Laker athletes and coaches in attendance will be recognized at the intermission of the match (between second and third set).
