Carrick, a sophomore from Charlotte, N.C., helped the Generals pick up their first win of the season in a 28-25 nail-biter against Randolph-Macon.  Carrick finished with five tackles on the game, but his biggest plays came in fourth quarter when he intercepted a pair of Yellow Jacket pass attempts.  His first take away came with less than eight minutes to play as he came down with the turnover at the R-MC 46-yard line and returned it to the 22-yard line.  That setup a Generals touchdown to make the scored 28-17.  After Randolph-Macon scored, converted a two-point conversion to pull within 28-25 and got the ball back, Carrick put an end to any comeback attempt by intercepting a pass a the W&L 15-yard line with seven-seconds to play.  The interceptions were the first two for Carrick on the season.  He leads the Generals with 40 total tackles.
