WINCHESTER, Va. - Visiting Bridgewater College kept its 2009 football record perfect with a 21-13 non-league football victory Saturday night over host Shenandoah.

Bridgewater (2-0) quieted the 2457 Sprint Field at Shentel Stadium fans at the 8:58 mark of the first quarter with a 98-yard Hagan Driskell to Tyler Beiler TD pass and never looked back against SU (1-1).

Shenandoah did not get closer than one point following the Driskell to Beiler TD. Barely four minutes after that touchdown, junior Anthony Cordero busted up the middle for a 38-yard TD run that brought the Hornets to within one, 7-6.

Unfortunately for the capacity crowd, the PAT snap was botched and SU could not convert on a run attempt for two points.

BC reached into its bag of tricks one play into the second quarter, faking a 41-yard field goal and getting a 24-yard Patrick Smoot TD run out of the play.

Lightning struck twice on the first play from scrimmage in the third - the Eagles Teley Tate, a transfer from Shenandoah, raced 70-yards for a score that gave the visitors a 21-6 lead.

Tate led all rushers with 192 yards and the one touchdown on 22 carries. Bridgewater finished the evening with 235 of its 423 yards in total offense coming on the ground.

SU had a couple of opportunities to get back in it, but came up short until QB Vern Lunsford found Brian Calloway with a 10-yard TD pass at the 1:49 mark of the fourth.

The Hornets attempted an on-side kick and it briefly looked like they would recover, but BC fell on the ball and then ran out the clock.

In addition to Tate's 192 yards rushing, Driskell finished the night 9 for 18 for 188 yards.

Keone Kyle led Shenandoah with 96 yards rushing and Cordero added 80.

SU hosts Randolph-Macon next Saturday night in its final non-conference contest of the season.
