The Wolves return home next week as they take on the Bulldogs on Wingate University in a game that will have major South Atlantic Conference and regional implications.
The Wolves bested the Indians in nearly every statistical category, but the stand-out number was the 80 yards the Wolves held the conference leading rushing attack to.
Dre Harris was 5-9 for 66 yards in the air and eight rushes for 90 yards, with a passing and rushing touchdown. Mario Anderson finished the game with 14 rushes for 121 yards and a touchdown, while Catriez Cook had 16 rushes for 96 yards.
The 53 points for Newberry are the most in a game since defeating Virginia University of Lynchburg 55-7 in 2017.
Mario Anderson found the endzone on a four-yard run with 11 seconds left in the game to break a 21-21 tie and give Newberry the win over Catawba Saturday afternoon.
Newberry and Lenoir-Rhyne battled back and forth throughout the game, but the Bears snuck out a 27-20 overtime win over the Wolves in the battle for the Bishops’ Trophy Friday night.
Teams will also be permitted to begin full team practices on Thursday, October 22. The start date of other winter sports (indoor track and field, swimming and diving and wrestling) will be up to each institution’s discretion.
In addition, as a result of the NCAA Board of Governors’ directives issued on August 5, the SAC Presidents Council voted to temporarily suspend all athletically-related activities, including practices, weight training, and voluntary workouts for all sports until September 1.
The Wolves fall to 1-4 on the season after blowing a late lead against a conference opponent.
