WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (Dec. 11, 2013)—William and Mary Director of Athletics Terry Driscoll has announced the release of the Tribe's 2014 football schedule, which is highlighted by six home games at Zable Stadium and a season-opening trip to Virginia Tech.

The 12-game slate marks the second consecutive season in which W&M's schedule includes a dozen games and matches the most regular-season contests in school history.

The Tribe will kickoff the 2014 campaign at Virginia Tech on Aug. 30, which will be the first meeting between the programs since 2007. This season's contest will mark 63rd meeting in the series that dates back to 1904. W&M has posted a number of impressive performances versus Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) teams in recent years and led West Virginia by 10 points midway through the third quarter this fall. Additionally, the College defeated Virginia, 26-14, in 2009, while it owned fourth quarter leads at Maryland (2012) and North Carolina (2011).

After a road game at Hampton (Sept. 6) the following Saturday, the College will close out its non-conference slate with home contests against Norfolk State (Sept. 13) and Lafayette (Sept. 20 - Family Weekend) the next two weekends. The Tribe earned lopsided wins against Hampton (31-7) and Lafayette (34-6) this fall, while it defeated NSU (27-15) in the teams' last matchup in 2009.

W&M will open its league schedule at Stony Brook on Sept. 27 in what will be the first-ever meeting between the two programs.

Following a bye week, the Tribe will return to action with another trip to the Northeast when it plays at New Hampshire on Oct. 11.

After nearly a month without a home game, the College will return to Williamsburg when it hosts Villanova (Oct. 18) for Homecoming and Delaware (Oct. 25) during back-to-back weekends.

The month of November will include road games at James Madison (Nov. 1) and Towson (Nov. 15) and home matchups versus Elon (Nov. 8), which joins the Colonial Athletic Association in 2014, and Richmond (Nov. 22). The contest versus the Spiders will mark the 124th meeting between the two programs.

W&M's annual spring game will be held on April 12.

Kickoff times will be announced at a later date.
