Sacred Heart University head coach Paul Gorham, beginning his eighth season on the sidelines, announced the Pioneer’s 11-game schedule for the 2011 season. This fall’s slate will feature six home games on Campus Field and games against a pair of Ivy League schools.

For the third-straight season the Pioneers will open up against the Marist Red Foxes. SHU will open the 2011 season under the lights on Campus Field as the Red Foxes pay a visit on Saturday, September 3rd. The two teams have met every season since the 2002 campaign with SHU holding a slim 5-4 edge. The Pioneer posted a 28-25 win in last year’s match-up in Poughkeepsie, NY.
