The Muskies' slate is highlighted by five home games, including three against Northern Athletics Conference opponents, as well as two non-conference home games. Lakeland will open its season on Sept. 7 at Carroll (Wis.) University and will play ten games in 11 weeks, with its sole week off coming on Sept. 28.

Lakeland will continue non-conference series against Wisconsin rivals Carroll and Carthage College and will host Carthage in its home opener on Sept. 14.

College in the (Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association)-NAC Challenge on Sept. 21, and Lakeland also will face Maranatha Baptist Bible College at home on Oct. 19.
