There are 24 more days until kickoff! In 2024, the Spiders finished 10-3 overall and went a perfect 8-0 in conference play, claiming the Coastal Athletic Association title for the second year in a row. They earned a spot in the FCS Playoffs for the third consecutive year, but fell to Lehigh in the First Round. They'll get a rematch of that game to start the 2025 season, traveling to face the Patriot League favorite Mountain Hawks on Aug. 30.
