GREENSBORO, N.C. (October 7, 2000)- Greensboro College set a new school record with 292 rushing yards Saturday in its 35-13 Dixie Conference victory over visiting Shenandoah University.

The Pride (1-3, 1-2) got 138 yards and two touchdowns from junior Tim Lewis in the easy victory. Lewis had 115 of those rushing yards by halftime as the hosts entered the lockerroom with a 21-0 advantage over Shenandoah (1-5, 0-2).

The Hornets attempted to make a game of it in the waning moments of the third quarter when backup quarterback Wayne Hogwood (Arlington, Va./Wakefield) scored the team's first touchdown on a nine-yard run. The Pride mishandled the ensuing kickoff, but the ball rolled out of bounds before Shenandoah could recover. GC then put the game out of reach when Daryl Gholson completed a nine play, 67-yard drive with a five-yard touchdown run.

Greensboro added one more score before the Hornets' Anthony McGhee (Reston, Va./South Lakes) scampered in from 10-yards out on a wingback reverse with 2:14 to play in the game.
