VSU Set To Host NCAA DII First Round Playoff Game



ETTRICK, Virginia  --  On Sunday, November 16 the NCAA Division II Football Committee announced Virginia State University Trojans as the number 3 seed in Super Region One.  The Trojans will play host to the number 6 seed the Pioneers of Long Island University-Post of Brookville, N.Y.  Kick-off is slated for noon on Saturday, November 22 at Rogers Stadium on the VSU campus.

Head football coach Latrell Scott had the playoffs in mind when selecting a strong 2014 schedule. Going up against California University of Pennsylvania and Lenior-Rhyne University early in the season along with winning the CIAA championship helped propel the Trojans to securing the number three seed in Super Region One.
 
It is the first trip to the NCAA Division II playoffs in program history for the Trojans. LIU-Post is 8-3 on the season and competes in the North East-10 Conference. It will be the first meeting between the two programs and the fourth NCAA playoff appearance for the Pioneers.
 
Tickets can be purchased from the VSU Athletic Department between the hours of 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. beginning Wednesday, November 19. General admission tickets are $15 and students with a valid school I.D. are $10. Event parking will be $10.
 
For more information contact the VSU Athletic Department at 804-524-5031.
