Sports Showcase: Football readies for season finale

Saturday will be the last chance of the season to see the Cardinal football team in action. The men host the undefeated Bantams of Trinity (7-0) on Andrus Field at noon. With a victory the Bantams can claim sole possession of the top spot in the NESCAC final standings. Wesleyan was trounced 51-0 by Trinity last year, so knocking off the top team is no easy task. Trinity has won 21 games in a row, most of any NCAA football program, and can clinch its third straight NESCAC title with a victory on Saturday. The Bantams are ranked first among Division III schools in New England, and are 21st according to one national poll. Wesleyan (3-4) has won in dramatic fashion this season, but is coming off of a 30-12 loss at Little Three rival Williams last Saturday. The Cardinals need a victory to avoid the team’s first losing season since 1996.
