Mercyhurst-West Chester Football Game To Be Aired On National / Regional Television

ERIE, Pa. - The Mercyhurst-West Chester football game, scheduled to be played on Saturday, September 12, will be carried live on multiple national and regional television stations via the SPORTSfever Television Network. Opening kickoff is scheduled for 12:00 p.m. from Tullio Field.

Mercyhurst (1-0, 0-0 PSAC West) opened the 2015 season with a 35-20 victory over Bentley last Saturday. It was the team's first season-opening win since 2011. Meanwhile, the Golden Rams (0-1, 0-0 PSAC East) lost their season-opener against nationally-ranked Lenoir-Rhyne, 41-28. Mercyhurst is 0-2 lifetime against West Chester, but this will be the first-ever meeting between the two schools in Erie.

Dan Watson will serve as the play-by-play man while Assistant General Manager and Director of Communications for the Erie Seawolves, Greg Gania, will provide the color commentary. Geoff Arnold will be the sideline reporter.
