Box Score Virginia Union University's defense allowed just 11 rushing yards while defensive back Charles Davis picked off two interceptions as VUU defeated Fayetteville State University in a non-conference match-up 25-13 on Saturday, September 20, in Fayetteville, N.C.

Davis returned one pick for 48 yards.

Virginia Union got on the board first when Troy Krepich connected on a 35-yard field goal with 11:02 left in the first quarter.  The VUU defense then recorded its second safety of the season when an FSU snap sailed out of the end zone.

VUU's defense struck again when the Panthers blocked a punt and freshman Donovan Stephenson fell on the ball in the end zone for a touchdown.

Virginia Union then turned to a double-pass combination where Jussie York heaved a 40-yard touchdown pass to Lennworth Lennon.

The Panthers finished out the scoring on a 60-yard run by Jerome Robinson.
