After their official fall seasons were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, in February the Landmark Conference Presidents' Council approved a plan for fall sports teams to conduct an expanded non-traditional season of up to four contests against fellow Landmark institutions.
The Landmark Conference determined that all of the contests are considered scrimmages and will not count as official NCAA or Landmark Conference games. In addition, Landmark standings will not be kept and official statistics will not be recorded.
Due to the ongoing pandemic, the Landmark Conference has decided to continue without fans in attendance at all athletic events. However, fans may follow all events live via the Landmark Digital Network, free of charge. Be sure to visit https://landmarknetwork.tv/drew/ for a complete listing of upcoming Drew events.
The Rangers play the third game of their four-match schedule on Friday, March 26, when they travel to the University of Scranton for a 7 p.m. start.
