Youth Day
Prior to the Privateers taking on the Spartans, the Bronx Warrior Pee Wee Football organization will take to Reinhart Field beginning at 9 a.m. in conjunction with the team's "Youth Day."
 
Snap the Streak
Maritime will look to put an end to Castleton's two-game winning streak, as the Spartans come in off of a pair of ECFC wins over Mount Ida and Gallaudet. The Spartans are just 1-2 on the road this year, with their losses coming against Salve Regina and Husson.
 
Think Pink
