Edinboro Climbs to Sixth in Northeast Region Football Rankings
November 1, 2005

EDINBORO, PA – The Edinboro University football team took a huge step in the latest NCAA Division II Northeast Region rankings. The Fighting Scots moved up one spot to sixth in the region with one week left in the regular season. Following Saturday’s games, the selection committee will choose the top six teams to advance to the NCAA Division II Playoffs on Saturday, November 12.

The Fighting Scots switched place with Bentley after posting a 33-7 win over Kutztown, while the falcons were losing to Bryant. Edinboro is now 7-2 overall heading into Saturday’s game at Lock Haven. Bentley is 7-3 and has concluded its season.

However, with the complicated computer system now in place, a victory over Lock Haven doesn’t necessarily assure the Fighting Scots of locking up the sixth position.
