Solak made four plays in the Hornets backfield as he racked up eight total tackles on the day, tied for the team-high with Danny Hunt. He cost SU 20 yards of offense on 3.0 tackles for a loss. Included in that total was an ODAC weekly-high 2.5 sacks for a loss of 19 yards. Solak also contributed to the Jackets' rushing and pass defense as the sophomore lineman helped R-MC hold Shenandoah to 64 yards on 37 carries in addition to breaking up a pass.
BRIDGEWATERput up 14 points in the
second quarter to take a 14-0 lead into the break against Emory
& Henry, and then added 13 more tallies in the second half to

Quarterback Willie Logan threw for 245 yards and two
touchdowns while also running for 34 yards and another score.
Ryan Green Ellis was the Eagles' leading rusher with 64 yards

between the two programs. Last season, Thaddeus Scruggs
ran for 122 yards and three touchdowns to lead Randolph-Macon to a
51-36 ODAC road victory over BC. Quarterback Zac Naccarato
finished the day 10-of-15 passing for 153 yards. Drake
Sanders complimented Scruggs' effort with 94 yards via the ground
as well. Carlos Gonzalez's 406-yard effort was the most for a
Bridgewater quarterback in school history, surpassing Brandon
Wakefield's 378-yard performance against Emory & Henry in 2004.

infractions that cost them 348 yards.

the road team winning six of the last seven games. The Quakers lead
the series, 7-6. Zac Halbert's six-yard touchdown pass to Rob

Quakers to a 34-27 win over the Cardinals in last year's meeting.

during the summer. Shenandoah is looking to win its first
game since a season-opening 26-16 triumph over Stevenson. The

in four games on a hail-Mary pass at the end of the first half.

streak, which dated to last season. Pawlowski has moved into

this year ranks ninth at Guilford. Receiver Adam Smith made
seven catches for 108 yards, his third game of the year with 100
receiving yards. Tyler Hunt kicked a career-long 39-yard field goal
at Hampden-Sydney, his sixth of the season. The last Quakers'
kicker with that many field goals in a season was Brad Scott (10)
in 2009. Defensive back Satiir Stevenson made a
game-high 13 tackles (6 solo) in Guilford's loss at Hampden-Sydney,
with one of his tackles coming from behind the line of
scrimmage. His seven assisted tackles represent a season
high. Robert Smith made 10 tackles at Hampden-Sydney, his seventh
game this year with 10 or more tackles. He entered the weekend
ranked 10th nationally in tackles and tackles for loss per game.
Smith's team-high 96 tackles this season stand 12th all-time at
