Read the ODAC Football Report: Week 8

Just three weeks remain in the NCAA Division III regular season, with several squads within reach of the ODAC title.  Hampden-Sydney College remains in the drivers seat after winning for a sixth straight time this Saturday.  Emory & Henry College and Guilford College are both just a game back following their sixth victories of the year.  And Bridgewater College is one of two teams at 2-2 as this weekend's road win.

All four games were afternoon affairs on Saturday.  Hampden-Sydney made the trip to Winchester looking to avenge their only loss from a season ago.  The Tigers accomplished that task with a 45-27 win over Shenandoah University.  Emory & Henry welcomed Catholic University to Emory and hung a season-high 62 points on the Cardinals in a 62-28 victory.  Guilford traveled north to Ashland where the Quakers joined E&H at 6-1 with a 28-6 triumph over Randolph-Macon College.  Bridgewater ended a two-game skid with a 24-13 win over Washington and Lee University.

This week's ODAC Offensive and Defensive Players of the Week are H-SC quarterback Nash Nance (pictured) and E&H defensive back Clint Peregoy.  Nance accounted for five touchdowns in the Tigers 45-27 win at Shenandoah as he threw for three -- including a pair 70 yards or longer -- and ran in two more.  He's now had a direct hand in 30 touchdowns this season, tops in the ODAC.  Peregoy made big plays on defense and special teams in the Wasps' 62-28 win over Catholic.  He blocked a punt that was returned for a touchdown, and intercepted a pass at the E&H three yard-line that led to a 97-yard scoring drive to help the Wasps set a new program record for points scored in an ODAC game.  Peregoy is tied for second with four interceptions and leads the ODAC with three blocked kicks, all coming in the last two weeks.

Four conference games are slated for 1:00 p.m. ET kickoffs next Saturday.  Bridgewater stays home for a second straight week as the Eagles welcome Hampden-Sydney to Jopson Field.  Shenandoah also enjoys a second home contest in as many weeks with Randolph-Macon headed to Winchester.  Greensboro is the next destination for Catholic as the Cardinals square off with Guilford.  And Washington and Lee returns to Wilson Field as the Generals square off with Emory & Henry.
