October 2, 2017October 2, 2017 Scott Lawson

Tweet Wow…what a first week of MVFC action. There were record-breaking performances, a couple of highly ranked teams battling in close games, and a nearly epic comeback. It was a pretty exciting start to what should be a strong conference season. Missouri State (1-3) at #2 North Dakota State (3-0) 4-0 on the season. 1-0 in the Valley. pic.twitter.com/BHnL6Vt89B —...

This week, we have 5 games between the 10 MVFC teams including two games involving two top-10 teams. Somebody... Read More

This week, however, we’re getting a lot more matchups with somewhat more “comparable” teams and finding out... Read More
