Framingham State To Battle Wesley in NCAA Tournament

By Kathleen Lynch/Framingham State athletics

After receiving the Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference’s (MASCAC) first automatic bid to the NCAA Division III Football Championship Tournament, the 2015 MASCAC Champion Framingham State Rams will be facing Wesley College in Dover, Delaware in an opening round game on Saturday, Nov. 21.

The Rams will be making their third overall appearance and third NCAA Tournament appearance in the last four years.

Framingham State finished the 2015 regular season 9-1 overall with their only defeat coming in week two to fellow NCAA Tournament participant Cortland State.

The Rams completed their third straight 8-0 season in the MASCAC after defeating Worcester State on Saturday.

Wesley, who is making their 11th straight NCAA Tournament appearance, received one of the coveted at-large bids to the tournament after finishing second in the New Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC) behind Salisbury. The Wolverines finished the regular season 9-1 overall and 8-1 in the NJAC.

The Rams and the Wolverines have met once before with Wesley coming out victorious during the 1995 season.
