Fayetteville State gets first win of the season

FAYETTEVILLE, North Carolina - After losing its first two games on the road, some home cooking wound up doing Fayetteville State some good in getting on the winning track.

The Broncos defeated Virginia Union 28-17, picking up their first win of the season. Fayetteville State (1-2) trailed after three quarters, but outscored its opponent 14-0 in the final 15 minutes.

"We just knew we had to come out of this game with a win," Fayetteville State quarterback Chauncey Concepcion said. "As a team, we knew that we weren't leaving here without a victory."

Virginia Union (2-1) took an early lead midway through the first quarter. Denzel Duchenne returned a Fayetteville State punt 75 yards to the Broncos 16. Jerrell Washington scored on a run one play later.

The Broncos countered on their next drive with Concepcion finding Kasunn Williams on a screen for a 48-yard touchdown to tie the score at 7 late in the first.
