CENTERVILLE, Mass.—Norwich University has been offered a bid to the ECAC North Atlantic Bowl for the second straight year, and will travel to face Springfield College on Saturday, Nov. 23 at 12:00 p.m.

With the bid, the Cadets become the first ECFC team to qualify for five straight postseason appearances since the inception of the league in 2009.

Norwich concluded the regular season with a 7-3 overall record and a 6-1 record in league play. With just one loss in Eastern Collegiate Football Conference play, they were named co-champions of the league, but Gallaudet won the tiebreaker and earned their first-ever bid to the NCAA tournament.

Springfield College, of the Liberty League, concluded the regular season with a 6-3 overall record and a 3-3 record in league play.

The two teams share five common opponents this season. Springfield had shutout wins against Husson (36-0) and Mount Ida (41-0) of the ECFC, and concluded the season with three straight wins against St. Lawrence (21-20), RPI (35-28), and WPI (35-21).

Norwich finished 3-2 against the same five opponents. The Cadets downed Husson (28-23), Mount Ida (38-19) and WPI (31-14), but suffered losses to St. Lawrence and RPI.

Springfield and Norwich have a long history that spans almost 100 years. The two teams first met in 1914 and resulted in a 45-0 win for Springfield. Since then, Norwich and Springfield have met 26 more times with the Spirit holding a 25-2 advantage. The last meeting was a Springfield win in 2008.
