The University of Maine announced Thursday that its football team will play Massachusetts on Nov. 11 at Fenway Park.

It will be the 59th meeting between the teams, who were members of the Yankee Conference, Atlantic-10 and most recently Colonial Athletic Association together before Massachusetts moved to the Football Bowl Subdivision in 2011.

Maine won the last two against the Minutemen, including 24-14 at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, in 2013.

Two other games are scheduled for Fenway: Brown-Dartmouth on Nov. 10 and Connecticut-Boston College on Nov. 18.

Times and ticket information will be announced later.
