WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina  --  This year’s CIAA championship football game will be played at Bowman Gray Stadium, with kickoff set for 1 p.m. on Nov. 16.

The game, matching winners of the Northern and Southern divisions, was last played at Bowman Gray in 2002.

CIAA officials announced Monday that the league’s Football Championship Committee unanimously selected WSSU as the host.

 

WSSU, the two-time defending CIAA champion, finished 14-1 last season and reached the NCAA Division II championship game.

 

“I think it’s great for Winston-Salem and great for the city and for Bowman Gray Stadium,” Coach Connell Maynor of the Rams said. “When I was an assistant at Fayetteville State, we played in the CIAA title game in 2002 at Bowman Gray, and they did a great job with the game, so I’m happy about it.”
