SOUTH EUCLID, Ohio -- This coming Saturday, Sept. 24, the Notre Dame College Athletic Department and Notre Dame College football will celebrate Military Appreciation Day at Mueller Field as the Falcons (3-0 overall, 2-0 Mountain East) play host to nationally fourth-ranked Shepherd (3-0, 3-0 MEC).

All military personnel with military ID will be granted free entrance into the game, and the Falcons will hold a pregame moment of silence to honor those who have fought for our freedom and continue to do so.

Following the pregame ceremony, the Falcons will square off with the Mountain East Conference rival Shepherd Rams in a battle of two undefeated teams. NDC boasts the MEC's top offense (529.0 ypg) while Shepherd ranks as the top defensive team in the Conference, allowing just 289.0 yards per game.

Kickoff is scheduled for 12 pm on Saturday at Mueller Field.
