The **Stevenson men’s lacrosse team** will play the University of Michigan in the Larry Myers Lacrosse Classic. The tournament raises funds to advance research into a cure for Huntingdon’s disease, a devastating degenerative brain disorder that has no cure. There is more riding on this game: If Michigan wins, **President Manning** offered to send two crab dinners to Michigan President Mary Sue Coleman. __When__ SU wins, President Manning offered to accept tickets to the much-anticipated Michigan/Ohio football game. President Manning earned his doctorate from Ohio State.
