ELIZABTH CITY, North Carolina -- A second straight Northern Division title is great,
but the Elizabeth City State football team is not done yet.
“We’ve got one horse in the barn, now we need to get
the other two,” Vikings coach Waverly Tillar said.
Stalls are reserved in the ECSU barn for the CIAA
championship and a berth in the NCAA Division II tournament.
Whether the Vikings can corral those two horses will
be decided next week when they meet unbeaten, defending champion Winston-Salem
State (9-0) in the CIAA title game in Durham.
Spring an upset over the Rams, who are ranked No. 2
in Division II, and ECSU, which lost last year’s championship game to
Winston-Salem State 38-18, might get a return trip to the national
tournament.
That’s assuming the Vikngs, whose 6-3 record is not
the resume of a playoff team, win at Bowie State in today’s regular-season
finale.
