The game was originally scheduled for Thursday, March 16 at 7 p.m. but severe weather is expected in the area on Thursday afternoon and evening so the decision was made to move the game back a day and move the time up.The Gents (0-5) were last in action on Friday as they dominated the University of Louisiana at Lafayette Ragin Cajuns 18-2 in an exhibition game at home. Centenary's last regular-season contest was on March 1 at home when the Maroon and White fell 18-9 to the Hanover College Panthers in an HCLC home contest. Centenary will honor its senior class following the game.
Spalding (0-7) is also looking for its first win of the season and enters Friday's play 0-4 on the road after a 29-1 loss at Southwestern on Tuesday. Spalding is a fellow division III school located in Louisville, Ky.
