HAMPDEN-SYDNEY, Va. – Shenandoah University earned its fourth football victory of the 2019 season with a 21-17 ODAC win at Hampden-Sydney Saturday afternoon.
 
Shenandoah (4-2, 3-2 ODAC) scored the winning touchdown on a Ben Rhodenizer-to-Casey Stewart 10-yard TD pass with 9:08 to play.

IN DEPTH

The Hornets needed that four-play, 65-yard drive because H-SC (1-6, 0-5) took the three-point lead thanks to a seven-play, 51-yard drive at the 10:33 mark of the fourth.
 
Rashadeen Byrd Jr. returned the ensuing kickoff 26 yards to set the Hornets up on their own 35 and Rhodenizer, who was inserted in relief of Ben Agostino at the start of this series, opened the drive with a 30-yard strike to Stewart.
 
The sophomore quarterback followed with a one-yard rush and then a 14-yard pass completion to Samuel Adams, which, when combined with a personal foul penalty on the Tigers at the end of the Adams completion, set SU up with a 1^st-and-goal at the H-SC 10.
 
Rhodenizer then lofted a fade into the right corner of the end zone, where Stewart grabbed it for what turned out to be the game-winning score.
 
The TD reception was Stewart's second of the game and identical to his first. On that one, Agostino hit him on 3^rd-and-3 play from the Tigers 20 to make it 7-3 Shenandoah with 1:12 to play in the first.
 
Hampden-Sydney had three possessions following that second Stewart touchdown with the Hornets forcing one punt, picking off quarterback Austin Murphy one time and ending the final drive on a turnover-on-downs.
 
On that last drive, H-SC receiver Major Morgan, who finished with 14 catches for 165 yards, took an interception away from Daquan Pridget by ripping the ball free on a 4^th-and-9 from the Hampden-Sydney 39.
 
The play ended up as a 32-yard completion for the Tigers, but Pridget got his revenge three plays later as he knocked the ball away from Morgan on a 4^th-and-9 from the Hornets 28.
 
Shenandoah then ran out the final 1:40 to secure its second win in four lifetime trips to Hampden-Sydney.
 

QUOTABLE

"We found a way," head coach Scott Yoder said. "It feels great to be 4-2 and to get a road win at a place we have not won in awhile."
 
Shenandoah had not defeated the Tigers at Hampden-Sydney since a 36-35 victory on October 26, 2013.
