CHARLESTON, West Virginia (November 15, 2014) – The 8-3 football team from the University of Charleston won a battle between conference foes fighting to end their regular season on a three-game winning streak. On UC's Senior Day, the Golden Eagles soared past Urbana University 69-34 to finish third in the final Mountain East Conference standings.

Despite the loss, Urbana ended its season on a high note, winning two of the final three contests after a 1-7 start. The Blue Knights went toe-to-toe on the road with the conference's third best squad on a frigid Saturday afternoon.

At the end of the first half, Urbana was driving for a potentially game-tying score when the game's first turnover changed the tide in the home team's favor. The Golden Eagles turned the Blue Knight fumble into seven points with just five ticks left on the clock, and UC entered the break with a 35-20 lead.

The Blue Knight defense seemed poised to stop the Golden Eagles on their opening drive of the second half, but a perfectly executed fake punt led to another UC touchdown.

Near the end of the third quarter, Urbana scored a pair of touchdowns in a span of about two minutes to get within two scores at 49-34. That's as close as the visitors could get down the stretch as UC found a way to shut out Urbana's offense in the fourth quarter. The Golden Eagles also tacked on some insurance touchdowns late, scoring a school-record 69 points in a Senior Day to remember.

Charleston's rushing attack was led by Josef Hinnant's 132 on just 11 carries, scoring two touchdowns on the afternoon.  As a unit, UC totaled 368 yards on the ground on 63 attempts, averaging just under six yards per clip.  Jordan Paul was 16-for-23 through the air for 232 yards and three touchdowns.  The Golden Eagles receiving corps was paced by Joey Augustin's seven catch, 99 yard performance that included a touchdown.
