CNU/Wesley cancelled, others moved Christopher Newport announced the postponement of all on-campus athletic events for the upcoming weekend. All scheduled home events have been postponed due to impending bad weather conditions expected from tropical storm/hurricane Hanna, including the football game against Wesley. The schools do not have a common open date this season. Newport News Apprentice and Malone also canceled their game. Hampden-Sydney and N.C. Wesleyan moved their game from Saturday afternoon to Sunday afternoon at 1 p.m., while Methodist and Campbell have moved their game backwards a couple of hours to 3 p.m. on Saturday. Mass-Dartmouth and WPI moved their game at Mass-Dartmouth from Saturday night to Friday night in hopes of avoiding the storm. "Obviously you would prefer no changes in your schedule, but in this case with Friday evening available for both teams, we are looking forward to playing UMass Dartmouth without the threat of severe weather," said WPI coach Ed Zaloom. "We are extremely appreciative of the efforts of the UMass Dartmouth athletic department for making this change at this point in the week. We are honored on being their opponent for their first-ever home night football game." | |

Let's get it started
Around the Nation Some games kick off tonight, some on Friday, and weather permitting, a whole bunch on Saturday. Although the path of Hanna has already prompted Christopher Newport to shut the school down for the weekend, there are still plenty of prime games to look forward to, and Keith McMillan has your September schedule all planned out in the season's first Around the Nation column. If this is your first season following Division III, Keith is a former safety at Randolph-Macon who has worked at USA Today and currently is a copy editor at The Washington Post. He started writing our signature column in 2001 and has been across Division III in the years since, seeing the game played in stadiums all around the country. His weekly column is a must-read for any Division III fan. This week, check out the big games coming up for Week 1, and plan ahead for the rest of the season. | |
