VCSU 28 Presentation 10<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ABERDEEN, S.D. (VCSU<\/a>) \u2013 Freshman quarterback Noah Chambers<\/a> had a hand in all four touchdowns, and the Viking defense turned in an impressive performance Saturday night as the Vikings picked up their first win of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chambers passed for two touchdowns and rushed for two more as the Valley City State football team defeated Presentation College 28-10 in Aberdeen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Viking defense forced three turnovers and held the Saints to just 229 yards of total offense in the victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Saturday night’s game was a non-conference contest. The Vikings finished non-conference play with a 1-3 record and will have a bye week before beginning their conference schedule on Oct. 8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chambers finished first-half drives of 74 yards and 71 yards with short rushing touchdowns as Valley City State built a 14-3 lead in the second quarter. The Saints scored just before halftime to cut the Viking lead to 14-10, but VCSU put the game out of reach with two more scores in the third quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chambers hit Trent Finney<\/a> for a 9-yard touchdown early in the third quarter, and then Faaris Amegankpoe<\/a> had a 57-yard catch and run for the dagger touchdown. Amegankpoe’s score gave the Vikings a 28-10 lead with 5:29 remaining in the third quarter, and VCSU’s defense took care of the rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Loke Iese<\/a> forced a fumble that Georgie Mageo<\/a> recovered, and both Colton Taylor<\/a> and Anthony Russell<\/a> had interceptions. Iese and Georgia Mageo<\/a> each had a sack in the win, and Jahidi West<\/a> finished with a team-high seven tackles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chambers was 13-for-18 passing for 191 yards and two touchdowns. He also gained 37 yards and two touchdowns on the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Justice Bice<\/a> had a big game on the ground finishing with 129 yards rushing on 28 carries. Taylor Simmons<\/a> added 33 yards on five carries. Amegankpoe had a career-best night with six catches for 117 yards and his first collegiate touchdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n VCSU finished with 397 yards of total offense, including 206 rushing yards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
