Hartly, DE –
Alcorn State University maintained its position in the HSRN Division 1 Poll.
while Virginia Union University tied Tuskegee University for first place in
HSRN's Division II/NAIA Poll following five full weeks of HBCU football
action.
Alcorn State
won its fourth straight contest of the season, defeating Arkansas-Pine Bluff,
61-14, in Little Rock. VUU's Panthers took advantage of Tuskegee's first loss of
the season to vault into a tie with the Golden Tigers for the #1 spot in HSRN's
DivisionII/NAIA Poll.
The Braves
have averaged nearly 50 points per game since their season-opening loss to
Georgia Tech.
North Carolina
A&T remained in second place following a 45-31 road win at Hampton. South
Carolina State and Bethune-Cookman swapped positions from last week with
Tennessee State completing the top five.
Morgan State
made its first appearance in the poll, entering at #10.
In Division
II, Tuskegee's unbeaten streak was broken and Virginia Union got enough points
to tie the Golden Tigers for first place. The Panthers have been hovering near
the top spot for most of the season. Both Tuskegee and Virginia Union were in
North Carolina last weekend. TU lost at UNC-Pembroke while VUU was knocking off
Shaw in Durham.
North Carolina
was also good to Bowie State with the Bulldogs remaining in third, thanks to a
win over Johnson C. Smith in Charlotte.
Chowan rolled into fourth position with its third straight win, a 27-24 road
victory over Winston-Salem State. Virginia State held onto the fifth spot as
CIAA schools grabbed six of the top seven positions in the poll.
