MILLERSVILLE, Pa. - Shippensburg University continues its divisional schedule by traveling to face Millersville at 7 p.m. from Chryst Field at Biemesderfer Stadium. The Red Raiders are looking for their first 2-0 divisional start in five years while Millersville is looking to snap a three-game losing streak.

The game is being broadcast live on Shippensburg University's student radio station (WSYC 88.7 FM) and on the internet (www.wsyc.org). Pre-game starts at 6:55 p.m. Interim sports information director Bill Morgal will handle the play-by-play while SUTV sports director Matt Groseclose will assist with color commentary.

Coaches on both sidelines will wear a “Coach to Cure MD” logo patch as a part of a nationwide effort sponsored by the American Football Coaches Association in support of the Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy, the largest nonprofit organization in the U.S. focused entirely on Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Fans are encouraged to donate to support research efforts.

The Red Raiders have scored at least 23 points in all four games this season and have made convincing statements to the conference with victories over No. 15 Edinboro and previously undefeated East Stroudsburg. Shippensburg is 3-1 at the start of the season for the first time since 2004, when the Red Raiders tied for the PSAC Western Division Championship. 

Shippensburg currently leads the PSAC in scoring offense with an average of 33.5 points per game. The Red Raider Wing-T has also thrived with ball control, ranking first in the conference with an average time of possession at 34:06 per game and ranking second in the conference with an average of 193.2 rushing yards per game.
