From IUP Sports Information
IUP head baseball coach Anthony Rebyanski announced his program’s 2021 schedule Wednesday morning.
The spring season for Rebyanski and his Crimson Hawks will look different due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Last May, the NCAA reduced the maximum about of baseball games for Division II to 40 for this season. Health and safety regulations by both IUP and potential opponents have limited travel between states and games between some conferences.
The Crimson Hawks have 23 home games scheduled against 11 different opponents. They’ll open the season with a non-conference doubleheader against Malone on March 6. It will be the first game played on the new turf at Owen J. Dougherty Field on IUP’s South Campus.
The Crimson Hawks also have non-conference home games scheduled against Frostburg State, Mount Aloysius, and Wheeling. IUP will also host Cal U in a single 9-inning game in March that will not count in the divisional standings.
IUP’s first PSAC West home date will be against Seton Hill April 27. The Hawks will host the traditional divisional opponents throughout the season, including Cal U (April 3), Mercyhurst (April 16), Gannon (April 23), Clarion (May 1) and Slippery Rock (May 7).
IUP has 17 road games scheduled, spread out over seven opponents and nine dates. The Hawks will play Slippery Rock (March 12) and Cal U (March 19) in games that will not count in the divisional standings, in addition to their normal divisional road opponents.
The 2021 Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Championships have been scheduled for May 12-15 at Slippery Rock University.
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, all games are subject to change.
