Herron finished with a game-high 129 yards rushing and two touchdowns, while also passing for 147 yards and two scores in leading Lenoir-Rhyne to a key 51-21 victory over No. 21 Mars Hill.

Herron led the Bears' attack that produced a season-high 589 yards of total offense, including 429 on the ground.

Woodley finished with four tackles, including 3.5 for loss and two sacks in Lenoir-Rhyne's win. Woodley anchored an L-R defense that held MHC to just 251 yards of offense and limited the Lions' Jonas Randolph -- the nation's leading rusher -- to a season-low 48 yards.

Paul Grammaticopoulos had the biggest day of his career in the Bulldogs' 51-41 victory over Catawba. The former soccer standout connected on all three field-goal attempts -- including one from 38 yards -- and averaged 62.4 yards on 10 kickoffs.

On the season, Grammaticopoulos has missed just a single field-goal try.
