OBU Faces Fort Lewis in New Mexico

SHAWNEE – Oklahoma Baptist will look to get its offense back on track as they face Fort Lewis College on Monday, March 18, in Aztec, New Mexico, at the Aztec Tiger Sports Complex. The game was originally scheduled to be played at the Skyhawks' Ray Dennison Memorial Field, but heavy snowfall throughout the winter has rendered their field unplayable.
