R-MC Football Opens ODAC Slate with a 22-10 Victory at Emory & Henry

Box Score

EMORY, VA -- The Randolph-Macon Football team ran its winning streak to three as it opened up ODAC play with a 22-10 road win at Emory & Henry on Saturday. 

R-MC is now 3-1 overall, 1-0 in the league and hands E&H its first loss of the year, dropping the Wasps to 3-1 and 0-1 in the ODAC.

The Yellow Jackets offense rolled up 376 yards of offense and held possession for over 35 minutes of the action en route to the victory.   Quarterback Zac Naccarato completed 79% of his passes on the day, going 15-of-19 for 233 yards.     Naccarato connected with wide receivers Christian Cook and Luke Sellers six times each in the win. 

The two pronged running game of Drake Sanders and Will McGhee combined for 144 yards on the day, gaining 80 and 64 yards, respectively.  

On the defensive side of the ball, Randolph-Macon held E&H to just seven yards on the ground, while sacking quarterback Kyle Bodden four times.   Bodden finished the game 31-of-51, for 359 yards, one touchdown and one interception. 

R-MC jumped out to a 10-0 lead following a 43 yard field goal from Josh Storm with 35 seconds left in the first quarter.  The Jackets first touchdown of the game came on its first possession of the second quarter.   R-MC strung together a 10 play drive that covered 64 yards in just over three minutes.    Naccarato was 4-of-4 on the drive and tight end Dan Crouch had a one-yard touchdown plunge for the score. 

The Wasps got on the board on its next possession via a Matt Turchin 32-yard field goal with seven minutes remaining in the half.

Storm connected on another field goal (39 yards) with 1:03 to go to put R-MC up 13-3.  E&H then drove down to the Randolph-Macon one-yard line with six seconds remaining.  Bodden attempted to score, but was stopped and with no timeouts, the half ended. 

A 42 yard field goal by Storm on R-MC's first possession of the second stanza gave R-MC a 16-3 edge and the Jackets would ice the contest with just over seven minutes to go in the game when Naccarato scored on a keeper from one yard out to make it 22-3 in favor of R-MC.

Danny Hunt led R-MC with nine tackles.  Akeem Hardy had eight stops and Ian Candelaria had seven, including one sack. 

Randolph-Macon will host its first-ever regular season night game next Friday when it takes on Catholic.  Kick-off is slated for 7:00 p.m.
