ASHLAND, Va. – Sophomore Jake Connolly (Glen Allen, Va./Deep Run) caught an eight-yard touchdown pass from senior Zac Naccarato (Spotsylvania, Va./Riverbend) in the first quarter, but Guilford would fight back for a 28-6 ODAC victory Saturday afternoon in front of a Homecoming crowd of 3,233 at Day Field.

After missing a pair of first-quarter field goals, the Quakers (6-1, 3-1) took a 7-6 lead midway through the second period. Guilford added a touchdown in the third quarter and two in the final period for the 28-6 victory.
