Single game tickets will go on sale for the first time this year on Thursday while season tickets will also continue to be available, as they have been on sale since February 13.

In addition to season and single-game tickets being available for purchase, as part of the Ticket X-Travaganza, tours will be given of Medlar Field at Lubrano Park to any fans that wish to see the new facility. Also, Penn State coach Robbie Wine and players will be available to greet fans from the beginning of the event until 1:00 p.m. A good luck send-off will then take place at 1:30 p.m. for the team as the Nittany Lions will depart at that time from the stadium for their three-game series this weekend, Friday-Sunday at No. 1 North Carolina.

For Penn State students, season tickets are only $20.00 and individual games are also $2.00. There will also be two designated seating areas for Penn State students, section 103, which is down the third base line from home plate, as well as behind the visiting team dugout, which is also located on the third base side of the field.

Adams, Heim named to trophy watch list

Two members of the Penn State Nittany Lion men's lacrosse team have been named to the 2007 Tewaaraton Trophy Preseason Watch List. The list, compiled by the Tewaaraton Award Foundation, includes all those considered early contenders and players to watch for the post-season award.

Sophomore Drew Adams and senior Pat Heim both on the list of nearly 50 individuals considered preseason contenders for the 2007 Tewaaraton Trophy, given each year to Division I's player of the year.

Adams, a sophomore goalie for the Nittany Lions, was the 2006 ECAC Lacrosse League Goalie of the Year, ECAC Lacrosse League Rookie of the Year and was a member of the 2006 All-ECAC first team. He ended last year with an 8.25 goals against average and a .603 save percentage.

Heim, now in his fourth year as a starter for Penn State, is one of Penn State's captains this season. He entered this year with 44 goals and 23 assists for his career and has quickly added three goals and an assist in Penn State's first two games this campaign. Heim was a first team All-ECAC pick last year as well.
