MINNEAPOLIS - The University of Northwestern Football team is busy preparing for Saturday's UMAC Game of the Week against the University of Minnesota Morris. The matchup is a rematch of last year's pseudo-conference championship game, when the Eagles and Cougars both went into the regular season finale unbeaten in UMAC play. Morris was able to squeak out a three-point win in an instant classic, setting the table for a huge redemption opportunity for UNW on Saturday, and the rest of the state has noticed.
The Minnesota Star Tribune, Minnesota's premier newspaper, has highlighted the upcoming game as part of its area notebook section. The write-up can be accessed online
here (subscription may be required), and will be available in Thursday's print edition of the paper.
Northwestern and Minnesota Morris will kick off at 1:00 PM on Saturday at Reynolds Field. The game can also be streamed on the Eagle Sports Network, an affiliate of the UMAC Sports Network.
