FOREST, Va. --- Randolph-Macon College put a cap on its first 10-0 season in week 11, officially locking up the ODAC title and claiming the league's bid into the NCAA Division III Tournament. Bridgewater College and Shenandoah University also added victories to further strengthen their NCAA profiles, but neither received one of five at-large bids to the field of 32 teams. Averett University snapped a six game skid with its first ODAC victory.

Randolph-Macon weathered an early push from Hampden-Sydney to collect a 38-17 win at H-SC in the 127th edition of "The Game." Bridgewater got a record-breaking individual defensive performance and posted a season-high for points in a 64-22 victory at Guilford. Shenandoah used three overtime periods to match a program record for wins (8) with a 16-14 triumph at Washington and Lee. Averett opened the "W" column of its ODAC ledger with a 24-20 road win at Ferrum.

This week's ODAC Offensive and Defensive Players of the Week are Shenandoah quarterback Steven Hugney and Bridgewater linebacker Aaron Nice.

• AVERETT DEF. FERRUM, 24-20 | BOX SCORE
  Averett opened the other side of its ODAC ledger with the program's first conference victory since becoming a new full-time member in July with a 24-20 win at Ferrum. Tevarius Brooks posted the deciding touchdown at the outset of the fourth quarter with the Cougars defense making it stand up. That effort included four turnovers featuring a fumble forced by Carey Dickinson and recovered by JaVon Lofton at the AU 23-yard line with 2:07 to play. Dickinson finished with 11 tackles including 1.5 TFLs. Lamar Horner made 11 stops and intercepted a pass, while Isaiah Sharper also caught an errant throw.

Ryan Curley and Shyheim Watlington added another 80 yards on 15 combined rushes. For Ferrum, Jesper Korkalainen and Monzelle Campbell threw touchdown passes. Deven Gray caught one as part of a 6-catch 99-yard day, while Na-Shawn Greene caught the other scoring throw. Campbell ran for 11 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries, while Joshua Ellerbe added 50 yards on 10 rushes. Defensively, Michael Lopez led with 10 tackles including a TFL.

• BRIDGEWATER DEF. GUILFORD, 64-22 | BOX SCORE
  Bridgewater closed the regular season with a resounding 64-22 victory over Guilford to finish at 9-1 and ranked in the Region III rankings. The Eagles, however, did not receive a bid to the NCAA Tournament, but they will participate in the second Neptune Bowl next weekend against Newport News Apprentice. While BC scored a season-high 64 points, it was Aaron Nice's defensive records that standout amongst the headlines. Nice registered 6.5 sacks among his 10 tackles, the most in ODAC single-game history and the most in Division III this season. BC notched 11.0 sacks on the day, costing Guilford 83 yards of offense. Tucker Harris had 1.5 sacks, with Mekhi Todman, Daniel Santos, and Eli Rucker adding 1.0 each. Justin Holley intercepted a pass.

• RANDOLPH-MACON DEF. HAMPDEN-SYDNEY, 38-17 | BOX SCORE
  All records are thrown out the window when Randolph-Macon and Hampden-Sydney meet in "The Game," but R-MC's record remained perfect following a 38-17 victory at H-SC in the 127th edition of the oldest small college football rivalry in the South. The Yellow Jackets held the ball for 42:54 of game time on the way to moving to 10-0 with a tight grip on the conference's automatic entry to the Division III Football Tournament. Nick Hale (148) and Kwesi Clarke (118) combined to run 49 times for 266 yards with Hale finding the end zone twice. Andrew Ihle and Drew Campanale added a rushing score each with the latter quarterback throwing for 198 yards and a touchdown on 11-of-16 passing.

• SHENANDOAH DEF. WASHINGTON AND LEE, 16-14 (3-OT) | BOX SCORE
  New overtime rules were put into full effect on Saturday in Lexington with Shenandoah posting a 16-14 victory over Washington and Lee following three overtime periods. Both teams missed field goals on their possessions in the first and second overtime frames, the latter of which would force teams to go for two points following any touchdown. Starting with the third overtime period, all teams line-up from the three-yard line and have one play to score with each conversion resulting in two points. Shenandoah quarterback Steven Hugney spun out of a tackle and found paydirt on the first 3-OT possession, while the Hornets defense stopped W&L short of the goal on the Generals subsequent possession to clinch SU's eighth win overall tying the 2003 squad for most in program history. Hugney was involved in all SU scores as he threw for 228 yards and a TD to Andre Jackson and also caught a TD pass on a "Philly Special" style misdirection play, his fifth non-throwing score of the year. Ethan Bigbee caught 10 passes for 81 yards, while Rashadeen Byrd, Jr., posted 72 yards on 17 carries. Defensively, Ben Burgan capped his career with 22 tackles, while David Agyei added 15 stops, Ethan Brown 13, and Corey Kidwell 10. Brown recovered a fumble. For Washington and Lee, Alex Wertz posted a game-high 155 yards rushing on 26 carries. Eli Hildebrandt ran for 56 yards and also threw a TD pass to Andrew Bland covering 32 yards. Peter Davin added a rushing touchdown. Hunter Hawk led the Generals' defense with 11 tackles, while Jalen Todd added 10 stops. Connor O'Malley intercepted a pass. 

FOOTBALL DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK Aaron Nice | Bridgewater | Fy. | Linebacker Nice, a first-year from Stuarts Draft, Va., put together the most prolific pass-rushing day in ODAC history in the Eagles regular season-ending 64-22 victory at Guilford on Saturday. Nice, who made 10 tackles on the day with seven solo stops, terrorized the Quakers quarterback with 6.5 sacks that cost them 55 yards of total offense. The 6.5 sacks are a new ODAC single-game record and ranks as not only the most in Division III this season, but that total is the third-most in Division history since the NCAA started recording single-game sack figures in 2000. Only Kevin McNamara from Saint John's University (Minn.) with 7.5 against Monmouth College (Ill.) in 2005 and Matt Harris from Gallaudet University with 7.0 against Becker College in 2011 rank higher. In the ODAC record book, Nice's output tops the 6.0 sacks posted by Rich Hilt from Hampden-Sydney against Washington and Lee in 1987 and 6.0 sacks registered by Jack Miscall from Randolph-Macon against W&L in 1992. Nice now leads the ODAC with 10.0 sacks on the season, costing opponents 83 yards of offense. He has made 49 stops overall with 30 solo tackles and 12.0 TFLs with one forced fumble.

FOOTBALL OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK Steven Hugney | Shenandoah | So. | Quarterback Hugney, a sophomore from Fairfax Station, Va., had a hand in all three scores for Shenandoah in the Hornets 16-14 triple-overtime victory at Washington and Lee to close out the regular season. Hugney was 29-for-52 passing for 228 yards and a touchdown. He also caught a touchdown pass on a "Philly Special" style play and ran in the deciding two point conversion on SU's possession in the third extra frame. On the two-point play, Hugney rolled right after play fake, spun out of an open-field tackle attempt at the 10-yard line, and beat two defenders to the goal-line for the winning points. Hugney's touchdown pass tied the game with 40-seconds left in regulation. The play covered five yards when Andre Jackson hauled in a post-slant from Hugney to knot the score at 14-all and cap a 12-play 75-yard drive that covered 2:14 of game time. Hugney's touchdown reception to cut W&L's lead to 14-7 at the outset of the fourth quarter came on a two-tiered misdirection play. With Hugney seemingly communicating with the offensive line, the snap went directly to running back Rashadeen Byrd, Jr. He rolled left and pitched the ball to Bryar Wheeler coming on an end-around, who stopped and lobbed a pass to Hugney in the right side of the end zone. For the season, Hugney has thrown for 2,147 yards and 19 touchdowns on 186-of-313 passing. This was his first reception and fifth non-passing touchdown of the year.
