ADA — The Ohio Northern football team will put its 5-0 record in international competition on the line when the Polar Bears embark on their sixth trip to Europe from Wednesday, May 24-June 1.

ONU will travel to Rome for four nights, then on to Naples and the Amalfi coast for two nights, then back to Rome for the final evening before returning to the United States.

The Polar Bears will play an exhibition game on Sunday at 4 pm (10 am EDT) against an all-star game from the top Italian league, Federazione Italiana Di American Football.

A large group of 107 student/athletes, coaches, staff, families and friends will make the trip to Italy.
