Get ready for football, volleyball and soccer...in March 2021

Ohio Athletic Conference releases sport schedules; football games on Friday nights in March and April

The Ohio Athletic Conference has announced the schedules for football, volleyball and men's and women's soccer for the 2021 spring seasons.

All sports will begin competition on the weekend of March 12, 2021, and will conclude on the weekend of April 16 with championships games in all sports.

The four schedules feature conference-only competition and remain under the NCAA's 50 percent waiver rule so that all student-athletes will not use a season of competition.

Football
Football will be split into East and West divisions and will play a 4-game round-robin schedule against divisional foes on Friday nights, beginning on March 12.

The championship game, featuring the East and West winners, will be at the home of the West champion on April 16. The second through fifth place finishers will also play each other on April 16, so each school will play a 5-game schedule.

Spring football schedule:
March 12 Otterbein
March 26  at Capital
April 2 Wilmington
April 9 at Heidelberg
April 16  Division crossover game

Volleyball

The OAC Tournament will be April 12 and 16 and will feature the top four seeds. Teams finishing 5-10 will have the option of playing twice during the week against each other, if desired, resulting in a maximum 20-match schedule for all.

The men's and women's soccer teams will take its originally scheduled fall round robin and move it to the spring. The men's and women's teams will play at opposite sites on Thursdays and Sundays beginning on March 14.

On April 18 the top seed will host the second seed for the OAC Championship. The other eight teams will also play (with three hosting four, etc.) so that all schools will play a 10-match schedule.

Times and dates for all competitions are subject to further change due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Check back to ONUSports.com for more details as they become available.
