The Bears will also host St. Paul's College (September 21), Hargrave Military Academy (October 5), Bethel College (November 9) and will close out with the Homecoming clash against Allen University (November 16). The Bears will travel to George Mason University, Allen University, Edward Waters College, St. Paul's, and the match -up with cross town rival St. Augustine's College will be hosted by the Falcons this season. "The football staff and I feel as though this schedule will allow us to compete at a very high level in our inaugural season. With five home games our alumni and the community will have a chance to enjoy college football right here in Raleigh," concluded Ruffin.
