Leadership, ambition, and charisma are three ways to describe junior education major Matthew Biggers, who has owned the football field in 2012.

The football team ended its 2012 season on a winning note Saturday afternoon with a 36-24 defeat over Occidental at Ortmayer Stadium.

As cloudy skies turned to sunshine Saturday so did the Leopards’ playoff chances as they beat Pomona-Pitzer, 34-24, handing the winless Sagehens their fourth loss.

Despite showing major improvements, the Leopards suffered their first conference loss Saturday night, falling to Redlands, 40-21.

In August, the Florida Tarpons, a professional indoor football team, announced their signing of ULV senior Allen Daniels as a wide receiver and defensive back.

Sept. 15 marked the opening football game for the Leopards with the introduction to the revamped Ortmayer Stadium. The Leopards played the Whitworth Pirates, losing the game 45-20.

After nine months of anticipation the refurbishment of Ortmayer Stadium is finally complete.

Christopher Poindexter (No. 12) of the Ontario Warriors, receives a hit from Nevada Lynx player Rashad Jones as he attempts to score from the 10 yard line.

The $4 million project of refurbishing Ortmayer Stadium has been long awaited. For onlookers now it looks like a huge dirt field – but soon that dirt field will become home to all of La Verne’s field sports.

Construction begins on the Ortmayer Stadium renovation project.
