until kickoff · vs Hilbert · Sat Sep 19 · 1 pm ET
The Bombers — a three-time NCAA Division III national champion, most recently in 1991 — and the leaders of the Cortaca Jug against Cortland, a rivalry that has packed Yankee Stadium and MetLife and set Division III attendance records.
Cortland holds the recent edge and the all-time Jug lead; Ithaca answers with three national titles and a stage — Yankee Stadium — most of the country will never see.
