No. 7 Grand Valley squares off against No. 19 Assumption University, capping a slate of Family Weekend events and festivities across campus. Kickoff is 1 p.m. on September 16 at Lubbers Stadium.
Grand Valley earned its first win of the season, and picked up the first win under new head coach Scott Wooster, by beating Colorado State-Pueblo, 57-49, in double overtime last week.
Running back Tariq Reid scored on a 25-yard touchdown run that gave the Lakers the lead in the second overtime, and safety Cole Patritto deflected a CSU-Pueblo pass on fourth down to secure the win. Reid had a career-high four rushing touchdowns in the game.
Assumption enters the game following two wins to start its season. The Greyhounds beat Kutztown University in their season opener and downed Southern Connecticut State University last week.
The Greyhounds’ offense is led by quarterback Jake Cady, who has thrown for 517 yards, eight touchdowns and an interception this season, running back Raekwon Washington and receiver Baley Collier.
The game is a sellout, but students can enter the game with a valid student ID.
