HICKORY, N.C. – The Lenoir-Rhyne Football Team earned the No. 2 seed in Super Regional 2 and will host No. 7 seed Miles in the opening round of the NCAA Division II NCAA Playoffs on Saturday at Moretz Stadium. Game time will be announced on Monday.
The Bears are 11-0 for just the third time in program history and have won 21 straight regular season games and 13 straight home games. LR has won back-to-back South Atlantic Conference Championships and are advancing to the NCAA Playoffs for the fifth time in team history.
Lenoir-Rhyne owns a 6-4 record in the NCAA Playoffs and advanced to the NCAA National Championship game in 2013 where they fell to Northwest Missouri St. This will be the first all-time meeting between LR and Miles.
Should the Bears defeat Miles in the opening round, they would play the winner of No. 3 seed Bowie State and No. 6 seed Carson-Newman.
