GREENSBORO, N.C. -- Senior running back Chris Sullivan (San Antonio, Texas/Alamo Heights) ran for 96 yards on 29 carries and established a new Washington and Lee football career rushing record with 3,140 yards as the Generals defeated Greensboro, 6-0, on Saturday afternoon in rainy Greensboro, N.C.
Sullivan's 96 yards give him 1,123 for the season and moved him past Marc Watson's ('02) previous mark of 3,112 career rushing yards.

In the second half, Greensboro (4-6) was unable to find the end zone and finished with three turnovers for the afternoon.
The Generals were led by Sullivan's 96 yards on the ground. Junior quarterback Peter Dean (Vienna, Va./James Madison) added 67 yards through the air on 6-of-10 passing while also running for 30 yards on 13 carries.
