\u201cWhat a great day to make the announcement of the best game to happen in Dayton, Ohio in a long time, Air Force is playing Wright State. It\u2019s going to be a big deal because, guess what, this is an Air Force town,\u201d said Sullivan.<\/p>\n
WSU President Sue Edwards shared her excitement for the upcoming game.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is so exciting to have the Air Force Academy coming to Wright State to take on the Raiders. You know, I might be slightly biased in looking forward to a great big Raider win. It\u2019s going to be a great day, we\u2019re looking forward to hosting all of our friends from the base here, we are built on base land. We are joined at the hip with Wright Patterson Air Force Base, we want to do everything we can to make the airmen and women feel like they are a part of our community,\u201d said Edwards.<\/p>\n
