The Tigers then take on Virginia Military Institute at 6:45 p.m. The two teams are meeting for the third consecutive weekend. The Keydets posted a pair of come-from-behind victories over the Tigers, 14-12 two weeks ago and 10-9 in overtime last weekend.

Salem wraps up tournament play Saturday with an early wake-up call for an 8 a.m. non-conference match-up against fellow WWPA member Mercyhurst University. The Tigers posted a 4-0 record against the Lakers last season, including a 7-6 victory in the WWPA Tournament. Saturday's contest is the first of three regular season meetings between the two teams.

The Tigers defeated Washington and Jefferson College 26-6 and posted a 25-8 victory over Penn State University-Behrend.
