Unbeaten North Carolina A&T returns to chase history against mourning Norfolk State

GREENSBORO, North Carolina — N.C. A&T will drive to Virginia chasing history Saturday.

Norfolk State simply wants normalcy, to make sense of the senseless.

The Aggies (8-0, 5-0 MEAC) are alone in first place in the conference standings, and they’ll play the host Spartans (3-5, 3-2) at 1 p.m. Saturday at Price Stadium.

No A&T team in the program’s 93-year history has ever been 9-0. It’s the Aggies’ final road trip of the regular season.



And they’ll play a heartbroken team.

Nick Ackies, a freshman defensive lineman for the Spartans, was shot and killed Friday night at an off-campus apartment. Jaquan Anderson, a 22-year-old Norfolk State graduate and former defensive back for the football team, was arrested and charged with second-degree murder in the shooting.
