ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ will open the home portion of its schedule with its third meeting against the Furman Paladins in less than 12 months. That game, which will also be part of the ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Sports Hall of Fame Weekend festivities, will kickoff at 6 p.m. on Sept. 8. Former conference rivals, ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ and Furman played a pair of classic games last year. The Phoenix kicked a late field goal to down the Paladins on the road in the regular season before a blocked point-after attempt was the difference in a Furman win in the NCAA FCS Playoffs at Rhodes Stadium.
ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ closes the month of September at home on the 29th when it hosts New Hampshire at 1:30 p.m. for Family Weekend and its first CAA Football contest of the season at Rhodes Stadium.
Following two weeks on the road, ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ returns to Rhodes Stadium for three straight, as the Phoenix hosts Richmond, Rhode Island and Towson to conclude the home slate. ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ and Richmond will kick off at 1:30 p.m. on Oct. 20. Following its bye week, the maroon and gold welcomes Rhode Island for a Homecoming showdown at 1:30 p.m. on Nov. 3. The final home game of the regular season will be played at noon on Nov. 10, when ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ hosts Towson.
Times have also been set for all four of ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ’s road conference matchups. The Phoenix will open CAA Football play on Sept. 15. at 6 p.m. at William & Mary. ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ’s road game at defending conference champion James Madison will kick at 1:30 p.m. on Oct. 6 before a 3:30 p.m. game time at Delaware the following week.
