WILLIAMSBURG, Va. - The Tribe will play at Zable Stadium for the first time in nearly a month when it hosts Maine for homecoming this Saturday at 3:30 p.m.

Live video and audio, as well as live stats, will be available at TribeAthletics.com.

Tickets can be purchased at TribeAthletics.com or by calling the ticket office at 757-221-3340.

W&M (2-5, 1-3) is coming off its bye week and won two of its last three games prior to the open date. Its lone loss during the stretch was a 27-26 double-overtime setback at then-No. 4/5 James Madison. The College is averaging 31.7 points per game during the last three games, while it has posted 391.3 total yards per game and 225.3 rushing yards per game during the stretch.

Maine currently owns an identical record as W&M (2-5, 1-3) and has lost four of its last five games - two of which have come against top-20 teams. The Black Bears have generated much of their offense through the air this season and currently rank fourth in the conference with 232.1 passing yards per game.

Saturday's contest against Maine will mark the 10th meeting between the two schools, as W&M currently controls the all-time series, 7-2. The Tribe won the first five meetings versus the Black Bears before Maine earned its first victory in the series in 2002. Although the teams were scheduled to play in 2003, the game was cancelled due Hurricane Isabel. Maine was awarded a victory, while no contest was credited to the College. Four of the first five meetings were lopsided affairs and resulted in double-digit margin outcomes, while each of the last three matchups have been decided by three points or less.

This weekend's game will mark the 84th homecoming in the Tribe's football history. Traditionally, the squad has thrived on this special weekend, as it sports a 49-34 all-time record in homecoming games.

While W&M and Maine have squared off just four times in Williamsburg, three of those meetings have come on the Tribe's homecoming weekend. The College won all three of those homecoming contests - by an average margin of 32-11.
