League Gridiron Title Up for Grabs in Contest Streamed Over the Web
SALEM, Va --- For the second time this season,
the Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) is teaming up with Penn
Atlantic, WDRL-TV, and Washington & Lee University to bring you
all the football action live from Lexington, Virginia, via the
Internet. Not only will you get to experience the audio feed
from the contest, but you'll get to see all the action as if you
were watching the game from the stands or on your television!
The Generals come into the contest looking to wrap-up the ODAC and
put an end to a 20-year drought with their third ODAC title overall
and first since the 1985 campaign. But their opponent, Emory
& Henry College, has its own championship aspirations
motivating its efforts. A victory over W&L and one next
week at home against Guilford would secure the Wasps their
11th league crown and first since the 2000 campaign.
The announcers for the 1:00 p.m. kickoff are courtesy of Washington
& Lee's WLUR radio station. Doug Chase and Neil Scheaffer
bring you all the action from the booth while Jeremy Franklin roams
the sidelines bring you closer to the field of play.
You will be able to access the game from several locations.
You can access the game here using the links posted at the bottom
of the this release, or you can enter the contest directly through
Penn Atlantic's website (www.pennatlantic.com).
Both Washington & Lee (www.wlu.edu) and Emory & Henry (www.ehc.edu) will also have links
available on their athletic websites as well.
