COLUMBIA, SC – Emmanuel Houston scored three touchdowns to lead the Benedict College Tigers to their first football victory of the season, 23-17 victory over the Shaw University Bears in a non-conference NCAA Division II game Saturday at Charlie W. Johnson Stadium.
This week the Tigers won the turnover battle, intercepting Shaw's freshman quarterback Homer Causey three times, including once in the end zone, and recovering one fumble.
“We had a good week of practice, and I thought we would play that way,” said Benedict head coach Stan Conner. “We still had some unforced errors we have to eliminate, but we are on the right track.”
The Tigers, now 1-2, return to action on Thursday night to face Fort Valley State at home in a regionally-televised game. Kickoff is 8 p.m. at Charlie W. Johnson Stadium.
