THE GAME
• Averett enters this week’s regular-season finale against N.C. Wesleyan College fresh off a 34-28 triple-overtime victory at Ferrum College. That win set up a showdown for the USA South Conference championship this weekend. N.C. Wesleyan, which is coming off a 38-28 win over Shenandoah, is the only undefeated team in the conference at 6-0. The Cougars, who are 5-1, need a win over the Bishops to earn a share of the conference title. A win would also give Averett the tie-breaker for the USA South’s automatic berth into the NCAA playoffs. As part of the Senior Day activities, Averett's seniors will be recognized before the game.


THE SERIES
• N.C. Wesleyan holds a 3-2 edge in the series lead after taking the last two meetings. In games played at the Cougar Den, the two schools have split the series 1-1.


NOTABLE
• Averett’s win over Ferrum was its seventh victory in their last eight games.  This is the first time Averett has opened a season with a 7-2 record through nine games. The team’s seven wins tie the school’s single-season record. The Cougars’s previous best start was a 6-2 mark in 2006, the same season the team went on to win a share of the USA South championship.
• When it comes to turnover margin, Averett ranks second in the nation among Division III schools. The Cougars have a plus-18 turnover margin, which also leads the USA South Conference.
• Averett’s top-ranked pass defense (136.4) will be tested by N.C. Wesleyan’s top-ranked pass offense (275.0) in Saturday’s game. The Bishops also boast the USA South’s No. 1 scoring offense, led by quarterback Bo Jordan, who ranks first in passing average, total offense and pass efficiency.
