BANGOR — Husson University football will host the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Engineers in the first round of the 2014 NCAA Division III Football Championship Saturday at noon at the Winkin Complex.
Fresh off their 2014 ECFC Championship on Saturday, the team gathered in the D. Bruce MacGregor Sports Hall of Fame Room on Sunday night to learn their fate. Husson heads into the NCAA Tournament for the first time in program history, earning an 8-1 record (7-0 ECFC) and riding an eight game winning streak. MIT enters the game 9-0 (7-0 NEFC).
Twenty-four conferences received automatic-qualifying berths. Two berths were reserved for true independents and those teams that are members of conferences that do not receive automatic qualification. The remaining six berths were awarded to teams from either automatic qualifying conferences that did not win an automatic berth, or the remaining true independent teams and teams in non-automatic qualifying conferences.
