“It’s always great to win,” said Head Coach Scott Wachenheim. “I was impressed with how our defense played, also extremely impressed with our special teams. Wet ball. We had perfect snaps, perfect execution on the field goal, punts and kickoffs.”

VMI will welcome in Cornell for a 1:30 p.m. kickoff on September 17.
