A combined 33-3 overall and 18-2 in GLIAC play.
The Grand Valley State Men’s and Women’s Basketball teams continue to roll as they both recently completed the first round of GLIAC play with more week in January left.
Recently, the Laker Men and Women cruised through a busy three-game road week going a perfect 6-0 combined with doubleheader sweeps over Ferris State (Monday), Wisconsin-Parkside (Thursday), and Roosevelt (Saturday).
Here’s how the last pair of conference doubleheaders went for the GVSU Men and Women:
