The Greensboro College football team fell behind by 17 points midway through the third quarter and were not able to overcome it. The Pride ultimately lost to the Southern Virginia Knights, 31-14.

Greensboro (0-6, 0-4) started the game with the opening possession. On the first play, the Pride were sacked and fumbled the ball as Southern Virginia (2-5, 1-4) recovered on the GC 29.

The Knights used four plays to cover the 29 yards to take a 7-0 lead. The Pride's next drive saw them pick up two first downs before punting the ball back to SVU.

Southern Virginia moved the ball 15 yards on five plays before Da'Shaun Wallace forced a fumble as GC recovered on the Knights 33.

A five-yard run by Demond Miller and a completion from David Loughry II to Cale Matthews put the ball on the SVU 11. Three-straight incompletions saw Zach Allman trot onto the field to attempt a 28-yard field goal. Unfortunately, the kick missed to the left to keep the score at 7-0.

Both teams exchanged possessions as the first quarter came to an end. Southern Virginia had the ball to start the second and drove to the GC 25. The Pride's defense stood tall and forced the kicking unit onto the field. The Knight's Derek Bass made a 42-yard field to extend the lead to 10.

On a trick play, Matthews completed a pass to Loughry for the score with 3:27 on the clock. Allman's point after was good to cut the deficit to 10 (17-7).

Greensboro began to drive the ball into Southern Virginia territory but a personal foul stalled the drive. Allman pinned the Knights at their own six on its next drive.
