"We are really looking forward to this fixture and giving guys who have had limited game-time so far this year an opportunity," CWU Head Coach
Todd Thornley said. "These student-athletes have been working tirelessly all year long so they are very deserving of the opportunity in what should be a very competitive fixture. We must continue to work on our alignment on both sides of the ball while also continuing to improve at set-piece. It will be great to play at home in Tomlinson Stadium and put on a good performance."
