WINCHESTER, Va. – The Shenandoah University Department of Intercollegiate Athletics announced the 2022 football schedule Wednesday morning.
 
The 2022 season is the program's 23^rd campaign since restarting the program in 2000 and the 10^th under the direction of Head Coach Scott Yoder. The Hornets defend home turf in weeks two, five, seven, eight, and ten. Homecoming is Oct. 1 as Shenandoah hosts Ferrum for a 1 p.m. kick. 

That game with the Panthers is part of a homecoming doubleheader at Shentel that sees the SU men's soccer team host Roanoke at 6 p.m.
 
For the third time in five seasons, Shenandoah takes on Methodist in the opening game of the season. The Sept. 3 contest is the first time the Hornets have played at Methodist since a 44-33 victory to open the 2018 campaign. 
 
SU opens its home slate on Sept. 10 in a 7 p.m. non-conference game against North Carolina Wesleyan. 
 
Shenandoah participates in the ODAC/USA South challenge on Sept. 17 on the road against Maryville College in Maryville, Tenn. This is the team's longest trip of the season and closes out non-conference play. SU has won two straight over the Scots, including a 7-6 win in Maryville on Oct. 9, 2010.
 
Following the homecoming game versus Ferrum, SU travels to ODAC rival Bridgewater for a 2 p.m. Saturday game on Oct. 8. The last time the Hornets and Eagles played, the Hornets won 34-27 after facing a 24-0 deficit in the first half. 
 
Shenandoah gets back-to-back ODAC home games in weeks seven and eight as Guilford and Randolph-Macon travel to Winchester. Both games are set for a 1 p.m. kickoff.
 
On Oct. 29 the Hornets journey down to Danville, Va. to welcome the Averett Cougars to the Old Dominion Athletic Conference. The Cougars officially join the ODAC on July 1. The 1 p.m. game is the first between the two programs since 2011 and Shenandoah owns an 8-4 edge in the all-time series. 
 
Senior day is set for the final home game which takes place on Nov. 5 against the Hampden-Sydney Tigers. The Hornets travel to the reigning ODAC co-champions, Washington & Lee Generals, for the final regular season game of the season on Nov. 12.
