Morgan State looks to finish .500 on season with win over NSU

NORFOLK STATE (3-7) @ MORGAN STATE (4-5)

When: Today, 1 p.m.

Site: Hughes Stadium, Baltimore

Audio: WEAA 88.9 FM

Series: Norfolk State leads 18-11

What's at stake: The Bears snapped their first three-game losing streak in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference under coach Lee Hull with Saturday's 21-7 victory over Florida A&M. The team, which is 4-3 in the league, can register back-to-back .500 campaigns for the first time since the program went 6-6 in 2008 and 6-5 in 2009 with a win against the Spartans. Norfolk State (3-4 in the MEAC) has a modest goal of its own — finishing back-to-back seasons of .500 play in the conference for the first time since a three-year stretch between 2009 and 2011. The Spartans have dropped four of their last five contests, but have won the last eight meetings with Morgan State. In fact, Norfolk State has defeated the Bears the last five times in Baltimore and has not lost there since Nov. 22, 2003, when Morgan State scored a 43-34 decision.
