RICHMOND, Va. – The Colonial Athletic Association announced Tuesday the six-game conference schedules for each of its member institutions for the spring 2021 season.
Â
Last month, the CAA announced the scheduling format for the shortened spring season. The conference would be divided into two divisions, North and South. Teams would play round robin schedules within their divisions, and the team with the best overall conference record will earn the CAA's bid to the FCS Playoffs.
Â
UAlbany will play in the seven-team North Division, with Delaware, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Stony Brook, and Villanova. Teams in the North will play each other once, with each team hosting three home and three away games. The South Division, Elon, James Madison, Richmond, and William & Mary, will play each opponent in a home-and-home format. Towson announced last week it will opt out of the 2021 spring season.
Â
UAlbany's schedule begins March 6 with a trip to New Hampshire. The following weekend, the Great Danes visit Maine.
Â
The Danes' first home game will be March 20 against Rhode Island, followed by a second-straight home game on March 27 against Stony Brook.
Â
The schedule wraps up with a trip to Delaware on April 3, followed by one final home game on April 10 against Villanova. UAlbany's bye week falls on the final day of the regular season, April 17.
Due to current New York State COVID-19 guidelines, fan attendance at sporting events is prohibited. UAlbany Athletics is committed to adhering to these guidelines, but will monitor the situation closely in the event any change allows fan attendance at Tom & Mary Casey Stadium this spring. Should current restrictions lift, the department will be in communication regarding how to secure tickets for the upcoming 2021 spring season.
