DOVER, Del., April 7, 2021 -- Delaware State University Athletics Marketing has announced that Delaware 529 Education Savings Plan is the exclusive sponsor of this Saturday's Route 1 Rivalry football contest between the Hornets and the University of Delaware Blue Hens.

The teams will compete on Saturday, April 10, at Delaware State's Alumni Stadium for the first time in the history of the series, which began with a meeting in the NCAA FCS Playoffs in 2007.

Saturday's contest will also be televised nationwide on ESPN2. Game time is 6 p.m.

State treasurer Colleen Davis says the Delaware 529 Education Savings Plan is honored to sponsor the game to help inform and support students and their families in their goal of saving for college.

"Saving for college is extremely important as DSU and UD students and their families are well aware," Davis said. "The tax advantages of a DE529 education savings account are designed to help families save for education expenses and reduce the possibilities of school-related debt."
