HAMPTON, Virginia — Robert Scott IV intercepted Morgan State's Chris Andrews, and returned the ball 46 yards to the Bear 44 to seal a 21-12 win for Hampton in front of a homecoming crowd at Armstrong Stadium.

With the win, Hampton (3-3) is 3-1 in MEAC play for the first time since 2010.

Asked about the enhanced position within the conference, Coach Cornell Maynor, remained cautious.

"That's where we want to be. We control our own destiny, but for right now, we have to focus on playing FAMU (Florida A&M) next week."

Down 21-12 in the game's final four minutes, Morgan State was in the middle of a six-play, 31-yard drive that started at midfield, and threatening to score. However, with 3:32 remaining in the game, Andrews' pass to the left was tracked correctly by the freshman cornerback who zoomed in to take the ball first.
