FDU-MADISON CANCELS FOOTBALL GAME VERSUS MORAVIAN

BETHLEHEM, PA --- The Moravian College football game at FDU-Madison has been cancelled for Saturday, September 15th.

"FDU-Madison decided this afternoon to cancel the football game due to this week's tragic events in New York, Washington, D.C., and Pennsylvania," stated Paul R. Moyer, Moravian College Director of Athletics and Recreation.  "Moravian will host its other scheduled athletic events this weekend."  (Saturday, September 15th - women's soccer versus Widener University, field hockey versus Widener University, women's tennis versus Lebanon Valley College, and the men's and women's cross country teams running in an invitational at Middlebury College in Vermont)

Moravian resumed athletic events on Thursday, September 13th after postponing contests for two days.

No make-up date for the Moravian - FDU-Madison football game has been scheduled at this time.  The other five football games scheduled that include teams from the Middle Atlantic Conference will still be played.  Two MAC schools, FDU-Madison and the University of Scranton, have postponed all of their athletic events for the weekend.  The Centennial Conference will play its weekend schedule as planned while the New Jersey Athletic Conference has cancelled all athletic events through the weekend.
