Charleston, S.C. – The Citadel Football team will open the 2010 season against Chowan University on Saturday, Sept. 4 at Johnson Hagood Stadium. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m.

Saturday's matchup will be the first meeting between the Bulldogs and the Hawks.

The meeting marks the first time the Bulldogs will play a current opponent from the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA).
