Tonight's Opponent

Fort Lewis College is one of 14 schools in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference, and is located in Durango, Colo.  Its home field seats 4,000, compared to ACU's home venue of Shotwell Stadium (15,000 capacity). FLC (about 4,000 students) is one of the few institutions ACU (about 4,700) plays with a smaller enrollment. Should the No. 3 Wildcats prevail in impressive fashion tonight, they should move up in the NCAA Division II rankings, as No. 2 Minnesota-Duluth was upset, 13-10, in its Thursday night game this week with Central Washington, a match-up of two teams with experience in last year's NCAA playoffs. Their game, like ACU's last week, was a national TV telecast.
