over Coastal Carolina
CONWAY, S.C. (AP) --- Mario Thompson went 42 yards on a scoop-and-score to
highlight an Old Dominion defense that had six takeaways in a 21-8 win over
Coastal Carolina on Saturday to snap a three-game losing streak.
Thompson returned Deuce Bailey's fumble late in the first quarter to give the
Monarchs (3-7, 2-5 Sun Belt Conference) a 14-0 lead.
Bailey lost two fumbles and threw three of the Chanticleers' four passes that
were intercepted. The four interceptions, the other thrown by Tre Guerra, tied
a team record set four previous times. Three of the interceptions came in the
fourth quarter. Ironically, the Chanticleers' only points in the final quarter
came on a safety after the Monarchs picked off a pass at their own 3-yard line
but then were tackled in their end zone on the next play.
Quinn Henicle ran for a 2-yard TD for the game's first points and Jaxon Potter
threw a 6-yard TD pass to Leon Haughton Jr. one play after a fumble recovery.
Coastal Carolina's (3-7, 2-3) other points came on two Nico Cavanillas Alti
field goals.
Up next
Old Dominion: At independent UConn on Nov. 21.
Coastal Carolina: Home against Arkansas State next Saturday.
