 Paul Winters' 2008 team will have six home games. |
Feb. 4, 2008
DETROIT - Wayne State University Director of Athletics Rob Fournier announced today the 2008 Warrior football schedule.
"It's exciting for our fans to anticipate six home games with opponents with whom we have all become familiar," said Fournier. "There is no doubt year after year the GLIAC is one of the toughest football conferences in the country. The 2008 schedule promises that competitive challenge ... and the best of what embodies intercollegiate football."
With the addition of Tiffin, and the loss of Gannon and Mercyhurst, each GLIAC school will play 10 of the other 11 members in 2008. The lone institution not on WSU's schedule is Michigan Tech.
The Warriors open the slate with a non-conference match-up against the Mercyhurst Lakers. The following weekend WSU travels to Saginaw Valley for the first GLIAC contest for new Cardinal head coach Jim Collins.
Wayne State returns home to face the Indianapolis Greyhounds before a trip to Findlay to face the Oilers. Newest GLIAC member Tiffin travels to Adams Field for the first time since 1986 to close out September.
The Warriors begin October with a trip to Ashland's Community Stadium prior to a home contest on October 11 vs. Northern Michigan. It will be the Wildcats first visit to Motown since 2004.
Following a trip to Ferris State, WSU concludes October with a home contest versus Hillsdale.
Wayne State visits Northwood the first weekend in November before completing the regular-season with a home contest against Grand Valley.
