Lackawanna site disagrees

They can disagree, but from what I've read that won't be counted as an official divisional game this season.

That's about as weak as you can get from a crossover slate from the West. SOS could be an interesting point of discussion later in the season.

Yeah, we have one of those seasons I hate with the 11-game schedule when we're only getting five home games at Ship, and heading into the year with a team that has three seniors we'll be drawing IUP, Kutztown and East Stroud for three of those home games. Doesn't sound like a great home record is in the cards this season.

KU's spring game is Saturday April 25th. It will run from 10:30 a.m. to 12:45 p.m.

I saw that too. I don't know why KU doesn't have it marked as one unless it's just a technical error.

Surprised this wasn't in the release from the PSAC when Lackawanna was invited back in June, but basically has to do with Lackawanna still transitioning from NJCAA to NCAA Division II. Conference schools are required to play them within the conference schedule in 2026-27 and 2027-28 (all sports they sponsor) to aid them in meeting their DII application requirements but contests against them won't count in league standings or postseason selection until they are accepted into the DII membership by the NCAA.

I agree, that could change come fall. But my initial reaction isn't too nervous about it.

Really looking forward to Clarion's week 2 trip out east. Monica returning to Kutztown for the first time and with a team that I think will take another step forward in 26. Love the early measuring stick game against the class of the league.

First time since 2015. I remember going to that game. It could be an interesting reunion game.
