NEWBERRY, S.C. — The road map for the reigning champions of the South Atlantic Conference has been revealed.
With the release of the 2022 football schedule, most of the kickoff times have been set.
On September 3, the Wolves will kick off the season at 6:00 p.m. against Allen University who will make the drive from Columbia to Newberry for the first meeting ever between these two programs.
Road games to North Greenville and new SAC member Emory and Henry follow before the Wolves return home for their conference opener against Erskine who is an associate member of the SAC this season.
Newberry College went 10-3 this past season, winning the SAC outright and advancing to the second round of the Division II playoffs.
The 2022 season will be the first in which the South Atlantic Conference is split into two divisions with the two leaders of the divisions meeting for the regular season title in the final week of the regular season. If the Wolves were to not make that championship game, they would then take on their regularly scheduled opponent for that weekend in the Lions of Mars Hill University.
So while the 2022 schedule is set, there is some fluidity for that first Saturday in November.
