ETTRICK, Virginia -- Virginia State quarterback Jarred Battle said earlier this week he had to step his game up if the Trojans are to turn around their season. Battle, a senior from Norfolk, made true his declaration.Battle completed 12 of 14 passes for 231 yards and three touchdowns, and the Trojans' defense got a key turnover with four minutes remaining to stun Elizabeth City State 28-17 Saturday at Rogers Stadium.
"I was very relaxed," Battle said. "I knew we had to get the win to stay within the means of getting the championship.
"I just think we came out here and played as a team. That was the No. 1 thing and that's why we won, as a team."
The loss halted the Vikings' three-game winning streak.
"It was a big win for us. We were playing the defending Northern Division champs and it was kind of like our season," said Trojans coach Andrew Faison. "Everything is on our side now. We still have to play everybody, so we kind of control our own destiny."
