Gallaudet Loses Homecoming Game to Southern Virginia 44-9
After 4 weeks on the road, the Gallaudet football team was ready to play on their home turf, and their fans didn't let them down as over 2,500 fans came to see the Bison as part of Homecoming festivities. But Gallaudet wasn't able to take advantage as they lost 44-9 to Southern Virginia, a tough NAIA school.
Gallaudet got into the red zone four times today but was not able to capitalize until the fourth quarter, when Jimmy Gardner threw an 11 yard touchdown pass to Travis Oshman. Gallaudet also scored on a safety in the fourth quarter when the Southern Virginia punter couldn't handle the snap and the ball went out of the end zone.
On defense, Gallaudet was led by Justin Wilson with 8 tackles and one assist. Jared Vollmer had 5 tackles and five assists, and one interception, and Calvin Doudt had 5 tackles and 4 assists. Jarvis Beaver had 4 tackles, 6 assists, one interception, and 2 sacks.
On offense, Derrick Williams made two outstanding catches for 47 yards, including one for 38 yards.
With the loss, Gallaudet goes to 1-5 on the season. They play next week on October 25 at Husson College at 12 am. The next home game will be November 1 at 1 pm against Mt. Ida.
