LEXINGTON, Va. – Emory & Henry senior placekicker Luke Hawk (Blountville, Tenn.) hit a 35-yard field goal in overtime to lift the Wasps to a 17-14 win over Washington and Lee in ODAC Football Action on Saturday afternoon at Wilson Field.

The Generals (4-6, 1-5) began the scoring just 2:54 into the game following an Emory & Henry fumble on their own 28 yardline. Three plays later, senior running back Stuart Sitterson (Atlanta, Ga./Westminster) scored on a 4-yard plunge for a 7-0 lead.

W&L opened 14-0 advantage with 8:43 left in the first half on another Sitterson touchdown run, this time scoring from 1-yard out to cap a 6-play drive that began on the E&H 19 yardline following a blocked punt by W&L first-year running back Jonathan Clemo (Salem, Va./Salem).

The Wasps (5-4, 3-2) capitalized on the first play following a fumble by W&L first-year quarterback Charlie Westfal (New Canaan, Conn./New Canaan) as sophomore running back Caleb Jennings scored on a 25-yard touchdown run with 5:32 left in the first half to make the score 14-7.

After a scoreless third quarter, the Wasps knotted the score at 14-14 just seven seconds into the fourth quarter as first-year quarterback Brent McDonald (Lawrenceville, Ga.) found junior wide receiver Jonathan Hawkins (Crockett, Va.) on a 25-yard scoring strike. E&H had a chance to win the game at the end of regulation, but Hawk's 38-yard field goal attempt as time expired sailed wide.

W&L received the ball first in overtime, but Westfal was intercepted in the end zone on the first play of the extra session. After three plays and seven yards gained, Hawk then kicked the game-winner for E&H.

Washington and Lee was paced by Sitterson, who tallied 182 all-purpose yards en route to setting new W&L records for season (2,096) and career (5,981) all-purpose yards, both of which were held by Chris Sullivan '03. Sitterson rushed 25 times for 70 yards and two touchdowns, had two catches for 41 yards and notched 71 return yards.

Westfal rushed 13 times for 34 yards and completed 7-of-15 passes for 89 yards and one interception. Senior defensive lineman Tommy Matteo (Worcester, Pa./Germantown Academy) led the Generals' defense with 10 tackles and a pair of sacks. Senior defensive back Chris Prugar (Prospect, Ky./Kentucky Country Day) had four tackles and two interceptions.

The Wasps were led by Jennings, who totaled 304 all-purpose yards and one touchdown. He rushed 39 times for 203 yards and had 82 punt return yards. Hawkins added three catches for 51 yards and one touchdown, while McDonald was 9-of-25 passing for 69 yards and one touchdown, but was intercepted twice. Senior defensive end Matt Baldwin (Jefferson, N.C.) led the E&H defense with 10 tackles and a forced fumble.

Washington and Lee's season now comes to an end, snapping a string of four-straight winning seasons by finishing 4-6 overall.
