WINCHESTER, Va. – Shenandoah University celebrated the opening of its on-campus football stadium in style Saturday night with a 37-6 non-league victory over Gallaudet University.
 
Playing on-campus for the first time since 1967, 2930 fans packed Shentel Stadium to see the Hornets (1-2) dominate in all phases of the game over Gallaudet (0-2).
 
SU ran for 391 yards, held the Bison to just 99 yards in total offense and held the ball for more than 34 minutes on its way to the blowout victory.
 
Only a 92-yard fumble recovery for TD prevented Shenandoah from pitching what would have been the second shutout in its short program history.
 
Coach Walter Barr's club scored two touchdowns in each of the first two quarters and led 35-0 before Gallaudet had that scoop-and-score with 5:14 left in the third.
 
An Anthony McGhee 61-yard touchdown run midway through the first quarter provided enough offense for SU to take the victory; McGhee led all players with 109 yards rushing on just eight carries.
 
Dennis Robart, who had 76 yards on 18 carries, scored the hosts' final touchdown on a one-yard-run at 11:53 of the third.
 
Quarterback Wayne Hogwood ran for one TD and passed for another. He finished the night 2-for-4 for 28 yards through the air and ran for another 21 yards on four carries.
 
Gregg Anderson had the lone interception of the game and had three solo tackles.
