ASHLAND, Va.- Host Randolph-Macon kept its ODAC football championship hopes alive with a 42-7 victory over Shenandoah Saturday afternoon.

Macon quarterback Zac Naccarato led the 'Jackets (6-2, 4-1 ODAC) to the victory with a 198-yard passing day that included 13 completions in 14 attempts and two touchdowns.

Shenandoah (3-5, 2-3) held Will McGhee to 64 yards rushing on 18 carries, but saw R-MC convert 10 of 14 third downs and both of its fourth down attempts to extend its 14-0 halftime advantage into a 35-0 bulge by the 4:35 mark of the fourth.

The Hornets avoided the shutout as backup quarterback Justin Neff directed an eight-play, 68-yard drive that ended with a 5-yard TD pass to Brandon Adams with 1:55 to play.

However, Macon wasn't finished as backup quarterback Greg Petrohovich hit Jake Connolly with a 58-yard bomb on the 'Jackets first play from scrimmage following the SU touchdown.

Shenandoah then took four plays to advance the ball out to its 39-yard line before time expired.

Randolph-Macon rolled up 454 yards in total offense on 63 plays as it held the ball for 35:01 of game time.

In addition to Naccarato's 198 yards passing, he added an additional 28 rushing on five carries.

John Byrd led the victors with 72 yards rushing on 18 attempts. Byrd had two TDs and McGhee one.

Neff, who only played the final two series of the game for the Hornets, was 15 of 17 for 144 yards and the TD.

Adams had seven receptions for 46 yards and David Bell six for 74.

Micheal Wroble set a school record with 19 tackles – he had 13 solo stops for the SU defense.

Shenandoah begins a two-game home stand to finish the season with a 1:00 kickoff next Saturday against Emory and Henry.
