vcsuSports-smallVALLEY CITY (VCSU) – The Valley City State University football team has finalized its 2014 schedule. 

Head coach Dennis McCulloch says the Vikings will open the 10-game schedule with a Thursday night home game, Aug. 28, 2014  against rival University of Jamestown. It is the first of two meetings with Jamestown. VCSU also plays Dickinson State and Mayville State each twice, and will play Dakota State, Waldorf College, Morningside College and Presentation College each once. 

The new additions of Dickinson State and Waldorf College to the North Star Athletic Association make a total of six North Star conference games on the schedule, beginning Sept. 13 at Dakota State. The first meetings with Jamestown, Mayville and Dickinson will be non-conference games. 

VCSU and Jamestown shared the inaugural North Star conference championship last season. 

For the fourth year in a row, Valley City will take on Morningside College, a perennial NAIA playoff team. VCSU is 0-3 against the Mustangs the last three seasons, but will host Morningside this year for the second time on Saturday, Sept. 6.

New conference opponent Waldorf College will travel to Valley City on Oct. 4 for VCSU’s homecoming game. 

VCSU has home games against  Jamestown, Morningside, Waldorf, Mayville and Dickinson State. Road contests are at Dakota State, Dickinson, Jamestown, Mayville and Presentation College.
