BLYTHEWOOD, S.C. — Shatarius Williams caught a 17-yard touchdown pass in overtime as the Benedict College Tigers defeated rival Allen University 34-27 Saturday night at Westwood High School in a SIAC showdown.
Benedict had the ball on offense first in overtime, and needed just two plays to put the ball in the end zone. Allen had its chance on offense, and Yellow Jackets running back Fabian Duncan was stopped for a three-yard loss on third-and-one at the Benedict 2-yard line by Ty'Metrius Patterson. A fourth down pass was incomplete, sealing Benedict's fourth straight win over their next-door neighbor.
Allen falls to 1-6 overall, 0-5 in the SIAC. Benedict improves to 3-4, 3-1 in the SIAC.
Ty'Metrius Patterson led the Benedict defense with 13 total tackles, including 5 ½ tackles for loss and one sack.
