Worcester, MA --- The threat of Tropical Storm Hanna has forced WPI's opening football game at UMass Dartmouth to be shifted from Saturday evening to Friday evening.  Start time will remain 7pm. 

Updates on the Women's Soccer home match with Salem State and Field Hockey's road game at Lasell will be announced during the day Friday or Saturday morning. 

"Obviously you would prefer no changes in your schedule, but in this case with Friday evening available for both teams, we are looking forward to playing UMass Dartmouth without the threat of severe weather," said WPI head coach Ed Zaloom.  "We are extremely appreciative of the efforts of the UMass Dartmouth athletic department for making this change at this point in the week.  We are honored on being their opponent for their first-ever home night football game." 

The meeting will be the second between the two schools.  Last year WPI defeated the Corsairs 49-17 at Alumni Field to open up the 2007 campaign.    

The pregame reception for parents and alumni, sponsored by the WPI Alumni Office, will still be held.
