Shaw Announces 2011 Football Schedule

(RALEIGH, NC)-  Shaw University today announced its 2011 football schedule.  The 10-game schedule features seven away games, a matchup against a Division I (FCS) school, and a return to Durham County's Memorial Stadium.

"This schedule has something for everyone and will allow our alumni base in some farther flung areas to come see the Bears this season," said Athletic Director Al Carter.  "And our local fan base will be excited to return to Durham and the outstanding stadium there."

Shaw, the reigning CIAA champion, opens its season with three non-conference road games – travelling to Stillman, Division I (FCS) Delaware State, and Benedict. 

They then return home for a three-game home stand against Elizabeth City State, Livingstone and Johnson C. Smith – which will be this year's homecoming game on October 8.

The Bears then leave for another three-game road trip – this one to Fayetteville State, Chowan and Winston-Salem State.  Their annual clash with cross-town rival closes out the season on November 5 in Durham.  (The full schedule is below.)

The Bears played in Durham County for both the 2007 and 2008 seasons, then shifted to local high schools (Millbrook and Southeast Raleigh) for the last two seasons.
