Virginia State victorious in first NCAA Division II playoff appearance

ETTRICK, Virginia -- Rewriting Virginia State history by making it into the playoffs and hosting a first-round game wasn’t enough for the 2014 Trojans.

They’re not done yet.

Kavon Bellamy scored twice on the ground, Tarian Ayres rushed for a touchdown and defensive back Andre Rawls recorded a pick-6 as the Trojans defeated Long Island University-Post 28-17 on Saturday in the first round of the NCAA Division II Football Championship playoffs.

Third-seeded Virginia State will travel to Bloomsburg (Pa.) to face the second-seeded Huskies (10-1) next Saturday.

“We’re proud of our kids,” Trojan head coach Latrell Scott said. “We’re extremely excited to be able to do this for our school, for our fans and for the community.”
