The newest upgrade for ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½â€™s athletic facilities enjoyed a groundbreaking ceremony on Thursday.
ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ celebrated the upcoming Tom Roy – UPI Park during a ceremony at the Lancers’ baseball field. The renovations will take place this summer, including a new backstop, netting system and team dugouts. Groundwork will also be laid for future phases of the project.
The stadium will be named after Tom Roy, a former head coach for the Lancers and founder of Unlimited Potential, Inc. UPI is an international, 42-year-old organization that ministers to professional baseball players.
During Thursday’s ceremony, ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ set aside time for prayer and dedication of the facility. Several speakers offered praise for Roy’s legacy of ministry and discipleship through the sport of baseball.
Roy also threw out a ceremonial pitch to current Lancer pitcher Evan Etchison to highlight the groundbreaking festivities.
The event was well attended by ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ staff, faculty, trustees, students and community members.
The baseball building project has multiple phases with funding currently past the first phase. To help ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ reach all of its fundraising goals, visit .
