|
Posted By: How May I Help You NC on June 10, 2019 Virginia Union University’s football team is ranked 25th in the nation in the pre-season NCAA Division II poll by Lindy’s Sports Magazine, it was announced on Thursday, May 30. This marks the first time in program memory that the Panthers, who finished 8-2 last season, have cracked the Lindy’s Pre-Season Poll. “We’re extremely excited for what’s to come in the 2019 season,” said VUU Head Football Coach Dr. Alvin Parker. “We want to thank Lindy’s for the respect that they have for the direction of our program. We understand that preseason rankings are great, but we must meet that expectation every Saturday this fall. Right now our focus is on completing summer workouts, followed by a great fall camp and our first opponent.” Parker is entering his second season at the helm of the VUU football program, and the eight wins in 2018 were the most by any first-year Virginia Union football coach. Virginia Union is the only CIAA school listed in the Top 25 poll. VUU will open the 2019 season at 6:00 p.m. on Saturday, September 7, when the Panthers face Hampton University in Hampton, Va. 2019 Season Passes are now in sale in the VUU Athletic Department for $75, which creates a savings of one free home game.
