WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina -- If you can't make it to Pembroke, NC next Thursday to see the Winston-Salem State University Rams return to the gridiron to face the UNC Pembroke Braves at Grace P. Johnson Stadium, catch all the action on the CBS Sports Network in the first game of the NCAA Division II 2013 television package.
With a little over 10 days and a few hours before kickoff, make sure you do not miss a moment of the action in 2013 season opener. The game should be an exciting one as the two teams met in a thrilling contest last season as the Rams escaped last year's matchup with a 28-23 victory in Winston-Salem, N.C.
Fans can watch CBS Sports Network now on Time Warner Cable: Channel 537 and 1537(HD); Direct TV: Channel 613 and 613(HD); and the Dish Network: Channel 158 and 158(HD). You can also visit http://www.cbssportsnetwork.com/channel-finder to find the channel in your viewing area.
"This year's package of games offers a tremendous representation of Division II football," said Frank Condino, chair of the Division II Football Committee and athletics director at Indiana (Pa.).
"The quality of teams and talent included is top-notch across the country. Featuring last year's national runner-up (Winston-Salem State ), a game at Cowboys Stadium and a matchup pitting the defending Harlon Hill Trophy winner against last year's third-place finisher are just a few of the highlights that make this lineup special."
NCAA Division II enters the eighth year of its partnership with CBS Sports Network in 2013, with nearly 25 percent of the division's football-playing members having enjoyed national television exposure during the course of the agreement.
"Institutions from seven different conferences, plus one independent, are represented this year," NCAA Associate Director of Division II Josh Looney said. "Over the past seven years, national telecasts have originated from 35 different Division II football stadiums, and we're adding five new venues to that list this year. In addition, eight teams will make their first football appearance on CBS Sports Network. This partnership has provided incredible visibility for our division that only continues to grow."
The Rams and the Braves are scheduled for an 8:00 p.m. kickoff at Grace P. Johnson Stadium in Pembroke, North Carolina. For more information on Rams football, contact the WSSU Office of Athletic Media Relations at (336) 750-2143.
