Alumni Game Set for Saturday, Nov. 28

The third annual Turkey Bowl Alumni Game will be played on Saturday, Nov. 28th on the turf at Merriman-Branch Field. Kickoff is at 12:00 noon. New this year is a girls' alumni game, slated to kick off immediately afterwards at 2:00.

Happily, several recent alums will be unable to play, since they will be participating in the NCAA Division III Final Four. Ben Mackinnon and Angus Kennedy will be traveling to San Antonio, Texas with their Williams College team to face Messiah in the NCAA semifinals on Saturday. Williams advanced with a penalty kick win over Christopher Newport in Sunday. They were almost joined in the Final Four by Wesleyan's Jory Kahan and Woody Redpath who lost a heartbreaker in overtime Saturday night to Rochester. Redpath was recently honored as a First Team All-NESCAC selection, and Kahan was honored by being chosen as a Second Team Academic All-American.
