FOREST, Va. --- There is a new winner in the ODAC Football Play of the Week fan poll in week nine. Emory & Henry College earns its first victory of the season on the heels of Josh Fleenor's 90-yard interception return for a touchdown against Hampden-Sydney.

After Hampden-Sydney opened the game with a pick-six, Emory & Henry returned the favor midway thru the first quarter. With the Tigers deep in Wasp territory, lineman Josh Fleenor stepped in front of a shovel pass and pulled in the errant toss at the 10-yard line. He rumbled 90 yards the other way for a touchdown, giving E&H a 10-8 lead. H-SC would go on to win the contest, 38-30.

This week's three nominees garnered more 4,000 interactions on the ODAC website, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. Fleenor's effort earned 46.6-percent of the fan vote to top this week's poll.
