Special commencement for Bryant lax, baseball teams

An early commencement ceremony is becoming a tradition at Bryant University. Fifteen seniors, eight from the lacrosse team and seven from the baseball team, will receive their degrees today because they will be playing in NCAA Tournaments Saturday, Commencement Day for the rest of the senior class. The ceremony is scheduled for 4 p.m. at the Bello Center Grand Hall.

The practice began a few years ago when Bryant won the Northeast-10 baseball championship. School officials realized the seniors would miss commencement because they would be on the road so they arranged a special ceremony for the seniors and their families. A similar ceremony was held last year.
