FOOTBALL TO HOST ANNUAL BLUE/WHITE SCRIMMAGE, MAY 8TH
DURHAM, N.H.—The University of New Hampshire football team will play its annual Spring Blue/White Scrimmage on Sat., May 8, at Cowell Stadium.
The action is set to begin
at approximately 12:30 p.m., and admission is free, so instead of
paying for a ticket fans are encouraged to bring in food items for
the football team's “Lend a Can” food drive. Food
receptacles will be located in and around Cowell Stadium.
The Spring Blue/White game is a
great opportunity to see the progress UNH's returning players
have made since the end of last season. In 2009, the 10-3 Wildcats
won their second straight CAA North Division Title, made their
sixth straight appearance in the NCAA FCS Playoffs and advanced to
the quarterfinals for the fifth time during that span. UNH
completed the season ranked No. 7 in the nation according to the
final “Sports Network Top 25 Poll”.
In addition, the first-ever Super
Cat 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament is scheduled immediately following
the Spring Blue/White scrimmage. The games will be played in
Lundholm Gym at the UNH Field House. The Super Cat Alumni Classic
is a half court 3-on-3 basketball tournament open to all UNH
football alumni. The event is a great way to get together with
former teammates, while supporting the Cat Club, a fundraising
group that provides critical support for the football
program.
