Villanova University Director of Athletics Vince Nicastro today announced that the Villanova/Delaware football game to be played at Villanova Stadium on Saturday, Nov. 22 is a complete sellout. After selling all the reserved seats, Villanova sold an additional 250 standing room only tickets.

The Wildcats enter Saturday's contest ranked No. 18 in the latest Division I-AA poll with a 7-3 overall record and a 5-3 Atlantic 10 Conference mark, while the Blue Hens own a No. 3 national ranking with a 10-1 overall mark and 7-1 conference record. A Delaware victory will clinch the Blue Hens at least a share of the Atlantic 10 Conference championship, while Villanova needs a win to enhance its playoff chances.

Saturday's game will be the 37th meeting between the rivals with the Wildcats holding a slim 18-17-1 advantage in the series. Villanova has won six of the last seven meetings between the two schools, including the last four at Villanova Stadium.
