The N.C. A&T Aggies football team will take on the Virginia University of Lynchburg Dragons in Saturday’s homecoming game.  

Last weekend the Aggies ended their three-game losing streak when they defeated the Florida A&M Rattlers in overtime 20-13.  

So far, A&T is 4-3 and are currently 2-3 against Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference opponents.  

A&T started 2013 with victories over Appalachian State (24-21), Elon (23-10), and Howard (27-19).  

The Aggies would go on to lose their next three games by a total of 15 points.  

The streak began in the 25th Atlanta Football Classic where the Aggies suffered a 29-24 loss to the South Carolina State Bulldogs.

They followed loss with a suprising 31-26 loss to the then 0-6 Hampton Pirates.  

The final leg of the losin streak came against the Delaware State Hornets where A&T ended up on the losing end of the scoreboard after a 12-7 defensive struggle.    

For VUL, Saturday’s game will be their program’s first since they announced the firing of head coach Willard Bailey and several members of his coaching staff.  

Bailey will be replaced by defensive coordinator Luther Palmer this weekend.  

The Dragons are members of the United States Collegiate Athletic Association and are 1-1.  

The Aggies won  38-7 against VUL in the first game of the 2012 season.
