WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina -- Chowan will come into its game against Winston-Salem State on Saturday in unfamiliar territory.Since moving from a junior college to a four-year college in 1992, the football team has never been 3-1. That changed Saturday with a convincing 49-0 win over St. Augustine’s in its conference opener.
The Rams have won 29 straight CIAA regular-season games with their last loss in 2010, but the Hawks are hoping to halt that streak. They come into Saturday’s game with plenty of momentum.
The Hawks are in the conversation as a contender in the Northern Division of the CIAA thanks to a quarterback who hasn’t shied away from making big plays. Randall Dixon, a junior college transfer who redshirted last season at Chowan, is one of the top newcomers to the CIAA.
Coach Tim Place, who is 25-49 in his eight seasons at Chowan, says Dixon’s play has been very good.
“We’ve done a decent job of protecting the ball, and our turnover margin is a lot better,” said Place, whose team also beat Division I Delaware State earlier this season.
