Bridgewater found itself in a shootout with Shenandoah University
on Saturday, and for all the offense in the game, it was defense
that provided the deciding score. Eagles' linebacker Scottie
Littles hauled in an SU pass and returned the interception 35 yards
to paydirt with 2:27 to go in the fourth quarter. Those seven
points proved crucial as Shenandoah notched what would have been
the tying touchdown exactly 1:00 minute. Bridgewater's big
play offense was in full effect in the Eagles' 38-31 win.
Darrin McKenzie's 61-yard touchdown run was one of three
