Season Starts With a Lynx Patriotic Bang Saturday, July 8, 2006 South Jersey Lynx Press Release The South Jersey Lynx day didn't start out too well but ended with a bang. Since the New Jersey Longhorns had difficulties acquiring a field, the Lynx were under the assumption that they would be awarded the game to be played at home, but arrangements were made at the last minute to play in Linden. Due to the miscommunication and late notice, some of the players were not aware of travel plans. The confusion caused the team to arrive to the field late. Upon arrival, there were several issues with the dimensions of the field that were very noticeable without measuring. |
