RICHMOND, Virginia – Chowan University could not overcome six turnovers against Virginia Union University, as they fell to the Panthers 43-29 on Saturday. The Hawks fall to 1-4 on the season (0-3 in CIAA play), and VUU is now 4-2. The Panthers totaled 479 yards of total offense, much of which was aided by Chowan miscues. After Virginia Union scored on their first offensive drive, they forced a fumble on Chowan's first play from scrimmage. Chowan forced a Panther punt, however, to thwart their drive.
The Hawks began their next possession on their own four yard line, following the punt. Again, on the first play of the drive, Virginia Union stopped Hawks running back JR Williams in the end zone for a safety. With 9:36 left in the first quarter, VUU owned an 8-0 lead.
The Chowan defense picked up as the quarter went on, and David Fulton intercepted a VUU pass with 5:11 remaining in the first quarter. Four plays later, Adrian Ferns found the end zone to bring the score to 8-6. Chowan's attempt at the two-point conversion failed.
On Virginia Union's next drive, quarterback Cheston Hickman rushed it in from 52 yards out to extend their lead to 15-6. They again struck on their next drive, going 46 yards on six plays. 45 seconds into the second quarter, the Panthers had a 22-6 lead.
The Hawks responded later in the second quarter, as Patrick Charles took Chowan's second interception to the VUU 42 yard line. Three plays later, freshman quarterback Jordan Roby found Robert Holland in the end zone to bring the score to 22-14.
