INDIANA, Pa. – This Saturday's matchup between No. 4/3 IUP and No. 16/16 California (Pa.) will be streamed live on ESPN3 as part of the NCAA Division II showcase schedule.
 
It was a predetermined selection, as the NCAA and ESPN announced the 18-game regular season streaming schedule back in July. (Original release)
 
The game will be the ninth annual Coal Bowl, a trophy game between the two rivals that dates back to 2009. It will also be Homecoming on the IUP campus. Kickoff is set for 2:05 p.m. at George P. Miller Stadium. Darren Goldwater will call the action with Trai Essex providing color during the webcast.
 
IUP enters with a 5-0 record and is ranked fourth (Coaches) and third (Media) in the latest top 25 polls. The Crimson Hawks are coming off of a 57-14 win at Seton Hill on Saturday, with sophomore running back Samir Bullock (Philadelphia, Pa./Archbishop Ryan) rushing for 263 yards and six touchdowns. The Vulcans are 4-1 after dropping their first game of the year last weekend, a 44-41 overtime decision to Slippery Rock. Cal is ranked 16th in both national polls.
