BRIDGEWATER, Va. (BC Athletics) – Bridgewater College Athletics has announced that the football program will host a Crimson and White Game on Saturday, Nov. 15, at 1 p.m. at The Stadium at the Jopson Athletic Complex.

Due to the decision of the ODAC on Monday to cancel the rest of the football seasons for Averett and Guilford after an alternation took place between the two teams last Saturday, this week’s regular season finale with Guilford has been counted as an administrative forfeit and will not take place.

To honor the hard work and dedication of our graduating members of their respective programs, the Crimson and White Game will also serve as Senior Day for the Bridgewater Screaming Eagles Marching Band, Dance Team, Cheerleading Squad, and Football Team. Senior members of the band, dance, and cheer programs will be recognized prior to kickoff, while football seniors will be honored following the conclusion of the game.

Admission is free, and tailgating at Mapp Field will be open to valid pass holders beginning at 11 a.m. A limited number of tailgating spaces remain available. Please contact BCAthletics@Bridgewater.edu for more information. Please note that tailgating will not be permitted in the Alumni Gym lot.

The Eagles finish the 2025 season with an overall record of 3-6 and a 4-4 mark in ODAC play. Bridgewater closed the regular season with a 45-42 victory over No. 25 Hampden-Sydney, marking the program’s first win over a ranked opponent under head coach Scott Lemn.
