Ewing, NJ... The College of New Jersey football team announced its 10-game regular season schedule for the 2010 football season.

The Lions open the season with a Friday night game hosting New Jersey Athletic Conference foe William Paterson University at Lions' Stadium on Friday, September 3 at 7 p.m. Following a bye week, TCNJ travels to non-conference opponent Fairleigh Dickinson University-Florham to play another Friday evening match-up at 7 p.m. in Madison, NJ.
