DUE WEST, S.C. – The Erskine College football team (1-5) will not play Saturday's originally scheduled game with Limestone University (1-3, 1-2 SAC) as it has been canceled for the safety and well-being of both teams' student-athletes.
 
The Flying Fleet were set to take on the Saints at 12 p.m. at nearby J.W. Babb Stadium in Greenwood for their final game of the spring season.
 
"We believe that the safety of all student-athletes is of the utmost importance," Director of Athletics, Mark Peeler said. "Because of this, we have decided to cancel Saturday's Erskine-Limestone football game. We believe this is in the best interest of both programs in regard to safety and well-being of student-athletes. This is a disappointing decision to make but one that is necessary. We have enjoyed our first football season in 70 years and look forward to a bright fall."
