BABSON PARK, Fla. (November 15, 2019) – The Webber International University football team will look to wrap up its 2019 campaign on a high note as the Warriors welcome the rival Royals of Warner University into Babson Park, Florida, on Saturday, November 16, for a 12 p.m. kickoff for Webber's Senior Day.

It will also mark the end of Webber's first season playing on its new Warrior Turf Field as the Warriors will bring an overall record of 3-5 and a home record of 2-1 into the matchup. Webber is also 2-3 in the Mid-South Conference Sun Division while Warner is 2-7 overall, 1-4 in the MSC Sun Division and 1-3 on the road.

Webber currently leads the all-time series with its rival Warner 4-2 with wins during each of the last two years. The Royals' only wins so far in 2019 have come by a score of 63-35 at Kentucky Christian University on September 28 and most recently at home on November 9 against Ave Maria University be a score of 41-27.

After starting divisional play 2-0 with a big 31-7 win over St. Thomas University during the first varsity football game ever played on the new Warrior Turf Field on October 5, followed by an epic 34-31 comeback victory on the road over Faulkner University on October 12, The Warriors have since lost three games in a row and have been outscored 100-21 during that stretch.

Webber will also end its 2019 campaign 0-4 against nationally-ranked teams in the NAIA while being outscored 148-41 in those games.

In all of the NAIA, Webber ranks 26th in passing offensive per game (227.3), 31st in passing defense per game (184.1), 48th in scoring defense per game (27.1) and 50th in total passing offense (1818).

Warner, meanwhile, is third in all of the NAIA in opponent's fourth down conversion percentage (20 percent), and is 32nd in total offensive yards per game (383.7), 33rd in scoring offense per game (28.7), 35th in passing offense per game (214.8), 37th in total scoring offense (258), 39th in total rushing offense (1520), 42nd in total passing offense (1933) and 47th in first downs per game (18.9).
