EASTON, Pa. (www.lafayette.edu) - The Maroon Club's Friends of Lafayette Football, in conjunction with the Maws and Paws, will sponsor a tented tailgate prior to this Saturday's game at Holy Cross.

The tailgate will be held on Freshman Field, located behind and east of the closed end of Fitton Field, beginning at 10 a.m.

The Leopards and Crusaders will take the field for a 12:30 p.m. kick-off. Lafayette (6-3, 3-1) is in a three-way tie for first in the Patriot League, while Holy Cross is a game back at 2-2.

A win this weekend would put Lafayette in position to claim at least a share of the Patriot League championship on Saturday, Nov. 19 at Goodman Stadium. Information on the tailgate leading up to the 141st meeting between Lafayette and Lehigh will be released as it becomes available.
