 | | Linebacker Josh Miller turned in a big performance in the Tigers' 17-0 win over Emory and Henry with six tackles and a forced fumble. | #24 H-SC Stays Perfect, Blanks Emory and Henry 17-0 (October 11, 2008) HAMPDEN-SYDNEY, VA--The Hampden-Sydney football team had been reminded all week about two of the lower points in its recent history, both of which served as keys to their Old Dominion Athletic Conference date with Emory and Henry. First, could the Tiger defense, much improved overall in 2008, respond after its 28-point hiccup in the fourth quarter of last week's narrow escape at Bridgewater? Second, could Hampden-Sydney avoid the turnover bug, which bit seven times in its stunning loss last season in Emory? Both questions were answered with a resounding "yes" as No. 24 Hampden-Sydney remained unbeaten on the year with an impressive 17-0 blanking of the visiting Wasps on Saturday afternoon on Homecoming weekend. Over 6,000 fans witnessed the first Hampden-Sydney shutout performance since 2002, when the Tigers snuck past Randolph-Macon 7-0 in the famed Mud Bowl. more...

It did not take long for Hampden-Sydney to fire off shots as junior Will Robertson (Charlotte, NC/Charlotte Catholic) ripped a shot in the eighth minute that hit the inside of the post and bounced out. more...
