Why this one matters

It’s early in the season, and both programs will be looking to build momentum heading into league play. There’s no recent meeting listed between the two teams on the game sheet, which adds a bit of intrigue for coaches and fans lining up for Friday night. Each program also has another game on the schedule next week (Sept. 19), so expect coaches to be balancing short-term gains with season-long development.
