Read the ODAC Football Report: Week 5

All eight conference teams opened the ODAC portions of their schedules in week five, with three squads remaining undefeated.  Bridgewater College, Emory & Henry College and Guilford College each moved to 4-0 overall after winning their league openers.  Hampden-Sydney College also proved victorious, moving to 3-1.

Three games started at 1:00 p.m. ET, including Emory & Henry as the Wasps dedicated their grandstand to legendary head coach Lou Wacker in a ceremony in their home opener on Saturday.  E&H came away with a 38-28 triumph.  Hampden-Sydney made the trip to Washington, D.C., where the Tigers defeated Catholic University, 62-14.  Guilford welcomed Washington and Lee University to Greensboro and defeated the Generals, 52-28.

Bridgewater and Shenandoah University played in the lone night game, which also proved to be the closest contest.  A back-and-forth affair came down to the Eagles getting a pair of defensive stops after taking the lead with 3:39 to play on the way to posting a 27-23 win.

Guilford athletes earned both ODAC weekly awards with running back De'Eric Bell (pictured) and defensive back Satiir Stevenson taking home the honors.  Bell ran for an ODAC weekly-best 149 yards and two touchdowns in addition to catching five passes for 93 yards and another score.  Stevenson notched an ODAC season-high and Guilford program-record 22 tackles to go along with his third interception of the season, which also marked his 13th career pick.

All ODAC squads are back in action next week with four league contests.  Catholic heads to Randolph-Macon for a Friday evening affair at 6:00 p.m. in Ashland.  The remaining three contests take place at 1:00 p.m. ET on Saturday.  Bridgewater and Emory & Henry put their undefeated records on the line in Bridgewater.  Guilford makes its way up north to take on Shenandoah, and Hampden-Sydney heads 90 miles west to Washington and Lee.
