Presidents Fall to 0-2

Washington & Jefferson battled back from a two-score deficit to tie the game at halftime. But, for the second straight game, the Presidents defense was torched for three touchdowns in the third quarter, and W&J fell to Hampden-Sydney, 38-31, Saturday afternoon. W&J pulled within a touchdown with eight minutes to play, then got the ball back late with a chance to tie. The Presidents drive ended at the HSC 15-yard line after a would-be touchdown pass was called back on a holding penalty.  W&J is 0-2 to start a season for the first time since 1997. Andrew Sharp led the W&J offense with 119 yards rushing and a touchdown. Kellan Stahl passed for 281 yards and one score and added 65 yards rushing and another touchdown. John Peduzzi caught 11 passes for 112 yards. W&J is off before visiting Grove City Saturday, September 27.
