NCCU Eagles earn first win for Bullock

DURHAM -- N.C. Central broke a three-game losing streak and celebrated a 20-7 homecoming victory over Edward Waters on Saturday at O'Kelly-Riddick Stadium. "It was very important to win and I think it will provide great momentum going into next week," interim NCCU coach Darryl Bullock said. "We got off to a quick start, but [Edward Waters] kept fighting and it will be a real good lesson for us."

The Eagles grabbed the early lead on their second possession when they drove 46 yards in three plays for a touchdown on a 22-yard run by Tim Shankle. NCCU later added a pair of touchdowns in the second quarter to build a 20-0 lead thanks to a 47-yard pass from quarterback Michael Johnson to Geovonie Irvine and a 1-yard run by fullback Justin Manning.
