WEST LIBERTY, W.Va. – The West Liberty University football team welcomes Fairmont State to West Family Stadium this afternoon for the annual Homecoming Game on the WLU campus. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. at West Family Stadium.
The 2021 WLU Homecoming Game is sponsored by Undo's and The Alpha Tavern while the WLU Homecoming Weekend is sponsored by Barnes & Noble College.
The Hilltoppers (3-3, 3-2) look to bounce back from a 20-16 road loss at Concord last week while the Falcons (3-3, 3-2) are coming off a 44-10 blowout victory against Alderson Broaddus.
There's a lot on the line this afternoon as today's combatants are part of a 5-way logjam in the Mountain East Conference standings of teams with identical 3-2 league records at the midway point of the season.
Homecoming festivities kick off at 9 a.m. with a coffee and donuts breakfast, sponsored by the WLU Alumni Foundation, inside the Alumni Tent adjacent to West Family Stadium followed by guided tours of the university campus. Tailgating with all the usual food trucks, live music and family-friendly activities also begins at 9 a.m. in the lots adjacent to West Family Stadium.
The annual Homecoming Parade is set for 10:30 a.m. with students and alumni tailgating before and during the game. Halftime ceremonies will be highlighted by the introduction of the 2020 and 2021 West Liberty Wall of Honor inductees – Carol Spadafore Frum, Barb Laifer, Dr. A.J. Monseau, Bill Beatty, Dr. David Jane Gilmour, Dr. Gerald Crabtree and Dr. Todd Bullard – along with the announcement of West Liberty's 2021 Homecoming King and Queen.
