NCCU announces changes to 2006 Football Schedule

June 16, 2006

DURHAM, NC -- North Carolina Central University has announced changes to its 2006 football schedule.

The gridiron match-up against Shaw on Sunday, Sept. 3, originally slated for Carter-Finley Stadium in Raleigh, N.C., will be played at NCCU's O'Kelly-Riddick Stadium in Durham, N.C.

Due to a scheduling conflict, NCCU's home game against Lenoir-Rhyne has been moved from Sept. 16 to Sept. 9. The Saint Paul's contest has been replaced with a first-ever meeting with Langston (Okla.) University. The Lions posted a 7-3 overall record last season and won the 2005 Central States Football League Conference Championship.
