(Radio Iowa) -- A confident Upper Iowa football team opens the season with a visit to Bemidji State in Northern Sun Conference play Thursday night (Sept. 1, 2016).
The Upper Iowa softball team will be making its first appearance in the NCAA Division-II Tournament when the Peacocks travel to Arkansas to play a first-round game later this week. The NCAA unveiled the bracket for the 64-team field during an online selection show Monday morning (May 2).
The Upper Iowa football team is hoping history repeats itself a third time. The Peacocks play their final road game of the season when they face Wayne State (Neb.) on Saturday (Nov. 7, 2015).
It's been a half-century since the Upper Iowa football team last recorded three-consecutive winning seasons. The Peacocks will end that drought with a victory over Southwest Minnesota State on Saturday (Oct. 24, 2015).
