Virginia State (12-3, CIAA 11-2) now moves into a tie for first place in the CIAA North with Chowan University as both teams sport identical 6-1 Division records. The Lady Vikings slip to 6-2 in the North with two division games left on their schedule; at Virginia State on October 29th and home versus Virginia Union on November 4th.
