LAST YEAR: The Vikings and Comets played in the Fargodome to end the 2022 season and put on a show. VCSU survived a high-scoring contest, building an early lead and holding off the Comets for a 48-40 victory.
REMATCH: VCSU and Mayville will rematch later this season, playing Oct. 28 in Mayville.
HAND POW: Riley Gerhardt earned his second NSAA Defensive Player of the Week award last week after recording 3 sacks in VCSU’s win at Dakota State. Gerhardt set VCSU’s career record for total tackles for loss and now stands at 49.5 TFL in his career. That breaks the old mark of 46.5 TFL held by Joe Maresh.
HALL OF FAME: The VCSU Vikings Hall of Fame Class of 2023 is football heavy as the 2005 team is being inducted along with defensive lineman Joe Maresh (2002-06), offensive lineman Travis Lester (2002-05) and running back Aaron Kramlich (1985-87). Also being inducted are volleyball players Heidi (Larson) Backstrom and Megan (Floerke) Jacob.
