B-CU Football to Host Florida Tech for Upcoming Season

DAYTONA BEACH, Florida  -- It was announced Tuesday afternoon by Director of Athletics Lynn W. Thompson that Bethune-Cookman University Football will meet Florida Tech during the upcoming 2014 season, finalizing a 12-game slate for the Wildcats.

Coming off a second consecutive Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) title in 2013, Bethune-Cookman will host the Panthers of Florida Tech to Municipal Stadium on September 27. Kickoff is slated for 4 p.m.

The meeting with Florida Tech will be the first between the two Sunshine State schools. The Panthers finished their 2013 season with a record of 5-7 overall (1-5 conference). They play in a perennially tough Division II conference with members such as Valdosta State, West Georgia and West Alabama.

The Wildcats open the 2014 campaign under head coach Brian Jenkins, set to enter his fifth year at the helm, August 30, in Miami at Florida International University.
