Syracuse will play a three-game series with Liberty University starting in 2019, SU athletics announced on Friday in a press release.
“We are pleased to add Liberty as an opponent,” Syracuse Director of Athletics John Wildhack said in the release. “This series makes sense for many reasons. It’s an opportunity to play in an area that’s important to our recruiting and it’s within driving distance of one of our largest alumni centers (Washington, D.C.).”
The series starts with SU opening its 2019 campaign on the road against the Flames in Lynchburg, Virginia on Aug. 31, 2019. It will be the two school’s first-ever matchup.
