Last Time Out

The Vikings survived their home opener against Chowan winning the contest 12-9. Kicker Riley Higgins nailed a 31-yard field goal to put ECSU up with 10:27. The Viking defense had an impressive goal-line stand and forced a turnover on downs with .50 left. ECSU took over deep in their own territory, but could not run the clock out. Vikings punter Darius Satterfield took a safety to make it 12-9. The Chowan offense took over after the free kick and completed passes downfield to set up a 38-yard field goal by kicker Matthew Conard. Conard hooked the kick wide-left and the Vikings escaped with a 12-9 victory.
