Lakefront Bowl moves to Carroll

The Lakefront Bowl will be played this season at Schneider Stadium at Carroll University in Waukesha.  The fifth annual Lakefront Bowl is scheduled for November 21, and will feature a team from the Midwest Conference against a team from the Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference.  Participants are usually the highest finishing team in each conference that does not qualify for the NCAA Division III playoffs.  Monmouth of Illinois won the first two Lakefront Bowls in 2022 and 2023, and then St. Norbert won in 2024.  Last season, Aurora beat Illinois College 49-14 to win the Lakefront Bowl.  The game was played at Raabe Stadium on the campus of Wisconsin Lutheran College in Wauwatosa in each of the previous four seasons. Smiley Cookie serves as the corporate sponsor for the Lakefront Bowl.
