Chad Rowland and Frank Richardson hooked up on two touchdown passes Saturday in Bridgewater as the Eagles beat nemesis Hampden-Sydney 19-13.
It was Bridgewater's first victory in the past 18 meetings with the Tigers.
Hampden-Sydney (2-2, 1-1 Old Dominion Athletic Conference) had won every game in the series since 1978, when the Eagles stopped a two-point conversion try in a 10-9 victory. The Tigers still lead the overall series 49-4.
Rowland hit Richardson for an 8-yard touchdown late in the second quarter to tie the score 7-7 shortly before halftime. The pair then teamed again, this time from 47 yards out, to make it 17-7 with 3:42 left in the third quarter.
Bridgewater (3-1, 1-1 ODAC) also scored on a 36-yard field goal by Michael Padgett and a safety. The two-point play came when players from both teams trying to recover a fumble by quarterback Kemp Smith batted the ball 31 yards downfield and out of the end zone.
Rowland was 18-for-34 for 213 yards. He was intercepted twice. Richardson caught only the two passes, but also rushed for 110 yards on 22 carries.
Tigers quarterback Walt Bondurant completed 22 of 37 passes for 214 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. Aaron Settles caught nine passes for 104 yards.
In other state games:
James Madison 31, Maine 7: Greg Maddox threw for two touchowns before injuring a knee, and Macey Brooks caught a school-record ninth touchdown pass of the season as the Dukes beat the Black Bears in a Yankee Conference game in Harrisonburg.
Maddox hurt his right knee early in the fourth quarter with the Dukes (4-1, 2-0 Yankee) leading 31-0. Maddox, a redshirt freshman, was starting his second game in place of Willie Gonzalez, who broke his right hand Sept. 21 in a victory over Boston University. Freshman John DeFilippo came off the bench to finish Saturday's game, completing one of two passes for 56 yards.
Maddox was 7-of-11 for 68 yards and touchdown passes of 9 yards to Jay Jones and 6 yards to Brooks, which broke David McLeod's single-season record. Maine (3-3, 2-3) had no one who could cover the 6-foot-5 Brooks, who entered the game as the Yankee Conference's second leading scorer averaging 12 points a game.
James Madison, ranked 23rd in Division I-AA, rushed for 148 yards, tying a season high. Tailback Kelvin Jeter rushed for 80 yards on 18 carries.
Reserve linebacker Tony Jordan set up the Dukes first touchdown and scored the second one. Three plays after Jordan recovered a fumble at the Maine 17-yard line, Maddox threw his pass to Jones. Jordan picked off a Mickey Fein pass and returned it 43 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter.
James Madison's special teams scored when Delmar Christian blocked a punt and Travis Grandison recovered the ball in the end zone for a 31-0 lead in the third quarter.
Maine spoiled JMU's shutout bid on Bob Jameson's 4-yard touchdown run with 8:14 left in the game. Jameson rushed for 93 yards on 17 carries. Fein completed 14 of 30 passes for 176 yards with two interceptions.
John Coursey opened the scoring with a 45-yard field goal in the first quarter to break Scott Norwood's career record of 32 field goals.
Newport News Apprentice 7, Ferrum 6: James Renninger rushed for 73 yards and one touchdown, and Jesse Jackson converted a crucial extra-point kick as the Builders edged the Panthers in Newport News.
Renninger's 1-yard plunge tied the score at 6 late in the third quarter. Ferrum (0-4) scored in the first quarter on a 1-yard pass from Brith Osinkosky to Mike Souma, but missed the extra point, setting the stage for Jackson's heroics.
The Builders had 185 yards in offense compared to Ferrum's 254 yards.
Randolph-Macon 21, Washington and Lee 10: Quarterback Sidney Chappell ran for 123 of the Yellow Jackets' 320 yards on the ground, and Randolph-Macon rallied from a 10-point deficit to beat the Generals in an Old Dominion Athletic Conference game in Lexington.
Randolph-Macon (3-1, 1-0 ODAC) rolled up 358 yards in all, getting scoring runs of 1 yard from Mike Klazas, 7 yards from Jamison Barnett and 4 yards from Neal Ferguson.
Barnett's go-ahead scoring run capped an eight-play, 99-yard drive.
The Generals (1-3, 0-2 ODAC) took a 7-0 lead just 29 seconds into the game. After a turnover, Brooks Fischer ran 17 yards for a touchdown. Matt Holbrook's 26-yard field goal 5:23 into the second quarter made it 10-0.
The Generals were held to 26 yards rushing, however, and Fischer was unable to get them into scoring position again despite completing 21 of 30 passes for 151 yards. He was intercepted once.
Jack Boyd led Washington and Lee defensively with 19 tackles, including two for losses. Tim Armoska had 17 tackles to lead the Yellow Jackets.
William and Mary 31, New Hampshire 7: In Williamsburg, Mike Cook passed for 306 yards and a touchdown, and ran for two more scores as the Tribe knocked the Wildcats from the Division I-AA unbeaten ranks.
William and Mary (4-1, 2-0 Yankee) piled up 476 yards on offense while limiting New Hampshire (3-1, 2-1) to 194. The Tribe sacked Chris Bresnahan seven times and ended three Wildcats drives with interceptions.
Cook scored on runs of 3 yards and 1 yard in the first half, helping No. 17 William and Mary to a 21-7 halftime lead. He hit Josh Whipple for a 16-yard scoring pass in the third quarter to put No. 20 New Hampshire away.
Cook finished 15-for-26 passing and ran five times for 30 yards. Alvin Porch rushed 28 times for 117 yards, including a 9-yard scoring run, and caught three passes for another 93 yards. He had a 66-yard reception.
Bresnahan, who had thrown only three interceptions all season, was picked off twice by Darren Sharper and another time by Mike McGowan.
Sharper, a senior, also had 12 tackles and has 17 career interceptions.
Luke Cullinane had three of William and Mary's seven sacks.
Jerry Azumah, who came into the game as the conference's leading rusher with an average of 127 yards, was held to 73 yards on 17 attempts. He scored the Wildcats' only touchdown on a 12-yard run in the second quarter.
Northeastern 27, Richmond 10: Jeff Reale ran for three touchdowns as the Huskies defeated the Spiders in a Yankee Conference game in Brookline, Mass.
Steve Kives scored Northeastern's other touchdown on a 37-yard interception return as the Huskies (3-2, 2-2) beat Richmond (2-3, 1-2) for the first time in six meetings dating to 1984.
Joe Elrod ran 5 yards for the Spiders' touchdown and Andy Slater kicked a 30-yard field goal.
Elrod, starting at quarterback after missing three games with hand and knee injuries, was under a constant rush by Northeastern's defense. He completed 11 of 23 passes for 164 yards.
Jim Murphy of the Huskies connected on 12 of 22 passes for 122 yards. Reale rushed for 67 yards on 18 carries.
Reale opened the scoring with a 2-yard run after a poor Richmond punt set up a 21-yard drive in five plays.
The Spiders squandered several first-half scoring opportunities, getting only Slater's field goal. Two other chances ended when the Huskies' Lenny Robinson intercepted a pass on the goal line and Zach Falconer recovered a fumble on the Northeastern 2.
