DATELINE: NORFOLK LENGTH: Long
Sparrow set the Spartans' single-game record for touchdown passes and passing yardage and tied another with 26 completions in 43 attempts.
Winston-Salem State (2-4, 2-2 CIAA) led 41-32 going into the fourth, when Sparrow connected on a 25-yard pass play with Darius Blount, threw 38 yards to James Roe for another score and rushed 4 yards for the game-winning touchdown.
Norfolk State (3-2, 3-2) could not contain Richard Huntley, who rushed for 248 yards and two touchdowns on 33 carries. Huntley scored on a 1-yard plunge and on a 5-yard run.
William and Mary 17
Northeastern 12
WILLIAMSBURG - Troy Keen gained 157 yards on 37 carries, and backup quarterback Matt Byrne threw for two touchdowns as the Tribe beat Northeastern in a Yankee Conference game.
The Tribe (5-1, 3-0) was without starting quarterback Shawn Knight, who sprained an ankle in last weekend's loss to Virginia.
Byrne was 12-of-22 for 251 yards and two interceptions. The junior quarterback threw scoring passes on each of the first two Tribe possessions. The first was a 33-yarder to Josh Whipple and the second a 35-yarder to Michael Tomlin.
Delaware State 22
Liberty 17
LYNCHBURG - The Hornets defense knocked down a fourth-and-goal pass in the end zone with less than a minute to play to preserve a victory over the Flames.
Liberty (1-4) had one final chance. With seven seconds remaining, Antwan Chiles' desperation 69-yard pass fell incomplete in the Delaware State end zone.
The Hornets' (3-2) winning score was set up by a Liberty fumble at the Delaware 44.
Fabian Thorne had 109 yards and two touchdowns on 18 carries for Delaware State. He scored on runs of 1 and 3 yards.
Chiles was 44-of-26 for 331 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. He also scored on a 1-yard run.
James Madison 30
Delaware 10
NEWARK, Del. - Mike Cawley threw for 216 yards and two touchdowns, and ran for another score, as the Dukes defeated mistake-prone Delaware in a Yankee Conference game.
James Madison (4-1, 2-1) took advantage of five turnovers to score 21 first-half points and take a 24-7 lead over the Blue Hens at the half.
Delaware (2-3, 1-3), which lost its second straight game, had an 11-game conference home winning streak dating to 1991 snapped.
The Blue Hens mounted an impressive drive to open the second half but were forced to settle for a 32-yard Sean Leach field goal. Later in the third period, Delaware was stopped on downs inside the James Madison 5-yard line.
James Madison kicker John Coursey contributed three field goals, including a career-long 45-yarder in the fourth quarter.
Maine 24
Richmond 10
RICHMOND - Emilio Colon threw two touchdown passes, and Maine's defense stopped two Richmond drives inside the 5 as the Black Bears beat the Spiders.
Richmond (3-3) came as close as 14-10 with a 27-yard field goal by Grayson Masters with 2:18 remaining in the first half.
But the Bears (2-4) came back with a 74-yard drive in the final two minutes of the half that ended with a 30-yard scoring pass from Colon to Drew O'Connor with 22 seconds remaining.
Earlier in the quarter, Aaron Terry stopped Spider quarterback Joe Elrod short of the goal on a fourth-and-one play from the 1.
In the fourth quarter, the Maine defense did it again, this time stuffing Minoso Rodgers for no gain on a fourth-and-one from the Bears 5.
Colon also had a 15-yard scoring pass to Ray Baur on the Bear's first possession of the game. Colon was 9-of-15 for 118 yards.
Maine went ahead 14-0 when Derek Carter intercepted an Elrod pass and returned it 53 yards.
Richmond senior Uly Scott, who had 111 yards on 16 carries, cut the lead to 14-7 on a 70-yard run in the first quarter. It was Scott's longest run from scrimmage in his college career.
The only scoring in the second half was Chris Binder's 20-yard field goal with 9:08 left in the third quarter.
Washington and Lee 9
Davidson 3
DAVIDSON, N.C. - Seth McKinley ran 2 yards to score Washington and Lee's first touchdown of the season and the Generals held on to beat the Wildcats.
Washington and Lee (1-3) had scored only two points in three losses before Saturday - a safety in the opening game. The Generals exceeded that total on Drew Thomas' 39-yard field goal in the first quarter that culminated a drive which began when Stuart Hogue intercepted a Davidson pass in the W&L end zone.
Davidson (0-4) had driven to the Washington and Lee 3-yard line, where the Wildcats had a first-and-goal. Hogue stopped the drive with his interception, which he returned to the 30. Hogue also had a fourth-quarter interception that thwarted another Davidson drive.
McKinley scored with 6:12 remaining in the third period after James Urban returned a punt 32 yards to the Wildcat 18.
