Good Morning, Nova Nation! The wait is almost over. Wildcat football is just 10 Days Away!

What else is going on in Nova Nation?

🏈 Talkin’ Ball
⚽️ Accolades Aplenty
🙌 Making An Impact
🔷 And much more!

🔼 Talkin’ Ball. With only 10 days left before kickoff, there’s no better way to get ready than talkin’ some ball with Coach Ferrante. The first episode of Talking Villanova Football presented by Bud Light is set to air next week on Wednesday, September 3 at Chickie’s & Pete’s in Drexel Hill. This the first of 11 weekly shows during the year and Wednesday night's season debut will feature an extended event time from 5:30-7:30pm.

Ferrante's weekly radio show will debut with eight consecutive weekly episodes starting on September 3 and continuing through Tuesday, October 21. After a one-week hiatus, the show returns with three more episodes from November 4 through November 18.

🔼 Accolades Aplenty. When you post a dominant season-opening win, the accolades roll in. That’s what happened for the Villanova men’s soccer squad who had a trio of ‘Cats honored by the BIG EAST and Philly Soccer Six after their 5-0 victory over Rider last week. Sam Nyenka, Luke Martelli and Gleb Bodganov were all recognized.

The Fade Factory Barbershop is proud to support the Wildcats and is located down the street from campus in Bryn Mawr (Rosemont Square on the first floor inside Elite Salons & Suites).

The Fade Factory is transforming the barbershop experience – walk-ins are always welcome, and appointments are highly encouraged.

🔼 Making An Impact. With the start of his fourth NFL season on the horizon, former ‘Cat Christian Benford stepped off the field to make an impact in the local community before getting the year underway.
