SHIPPENSBURG, Pa. — The Shippensburg University football team hosts longtime rival West Chester on Saturday for Homecoming at SU Student Association Field at Seth Grove Stadium. SU is encouraging a RED OUT for the game and asking everyone to wear red. 

SU is 53-31-3 all-time on Homecoming, including a 3-3-1 mark against West Chester. The first known Homecoming game at SU was a 7-0 victory over West Chester back in 1925. More recently, WCU defeated SU in 2013 but the Red Raiders defeated the Golden Rams in 2009. 

The Red Raiders, picked tied for third in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Eastern Division Preseason Coaches' Poll, went 6-5 last season after winning three of their last four games. The winning season was head coach Mark Maciejewski's fourth in four years at the helm.

The Golden Rams, picked second in the PSAC Eastern Division Preseason Coaches' Poll, went 11-2 last season and reached the second round of the NCAA Division II playoffs. West Chester started out this season with losses to Lenoir-Rhyne and Mercyhurst but has responded with four straight wins.
