Shaw Announces 2010 Football Schedule; Season Tickets On Sale

Raleigh, NC – Shaw University will host four home football games this season and take on one NCAA Division I FCS opponent. The Bears’ ten-game schedule includes home dates with Virginia Union, Fayetteville State, Chowan and Winston-Salem State.

The Bears open the season with the Shaw Pride game against Virginia Union on September 4, then hit the road for five straight weeks. On September 11, Shaw takes on Elon University. The Phoenix finished 9-3 in the Southern Conference last season with a strong Division I FCS schedule. The following week, the Bears will take on Catawba College.

The CIAA season begins on September 25 when the Bears travel to Elizabeth City State, followed by road games to Livingstone and Johnson C. Smith.

On October 16, the Bears return home to face division rival Fayetteville State, with the homecoming game against Chowan one week later. Shaw closes out the home season on October 30 as they host Winston-Salem State in a game that will be nationally televised. That game is also Senior Day and Shaw Open House.

Shaw finishes the season on the road at cross-town rival Saint Augustine’s.
