Anticipation was in the air for Homecoming 2021 – and despite the pouring rain, the Wildcats didn’t disappoint. More than 100 51±¬ÁÏÍø Football alumni from the 1960s to the 2020s returned to their home turf on Oct. 23, joining 7,000-plus Wildcat fans in cheering from the 51±¬ÁÏÍø Stadium stands as the Division I team shut out the Rhode Island Rams 44-0 for a Homecoming victory.

It’s just one of many highlights from an outstanding season: The team finished the year with a 10-3 record, emerged as Colonial Athletic Association conference champions for the first time since 2012, and posted an impressive run up to the quarterfinal round of the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision playoffs.
