Howard closes its nonconference schedule Wednesday at Virginia State, looking to end a four-match losing streak before returning to NEC play Sunday. The Bison beat VSU 4-1 in the teams’ first meeting last season.

By the Numbers
  • Howard is 3-11-1; Virginia State is 1-8-2.
  • Howard has lost four straight; VSU’s last win came Sept. 19.
  • Daniil Kaban leads Howard with 4 goals, while VSU’s Sebastine Daniel has 9 points.
Yes, But

Howard has the edge from last year’s 4-1 win, but both teams enter Wednesday in difficult form. Kaban remains a key scoring threat, while Daniel leads VSU’s attack.

State of Play
  • Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 28, with coverage on the USCAA Sports Network.
  • Howard resumes NEC play Sunday, Nov. 1, at Le Moyne.
Bottom Line

Howard has a chance to reset before its league schedule resumes, but it will need to halt its slide against a VSU team also searching for a turnaround.
