NEW ORLEANS – The New Orleans Privateers will now play the Southern Jaguars for the opening weekend of the 2021 season and opening day will be on Saturday.

The Privateers will play a single game on 2 p.m. Saturday followed by a doubleheader on Sunday. The twin billing on Sunday is scheduled to start at 11 a.m. with 45 minutes in between.

The schedule was changed due to severe winter weather impacting travel for Alcorn State.
