Hampton beats North Carolina A&T 59-17 for the Aggies' fifth straight loss

GREENSBORO, N.C. -- — Ja’Quan Snipes rushed for two touchdowns, Tymere Robinson and Donovan Shepard also had scoring runs and Hampton beat North Carolina A&T 59-17 on Saturday for the Aggies' fifth straight loss.

Hampton scored three touchdowns in less than a minute in the fourth quarter.

Following a touchdown, Hampton booted a kickoff into the end zone that returner Cortez Lane bobbled and mistakenly left on the ground. The Pirates alertly fell on the loose ball for a touchdown.

On A&T's next possession, Tre Everett III intercepted a screen pass and ran it 11 yards into the end zone as Hampton scored 28 fourth-quarter points.

The Pirates also scored 21 points in the second quarter and added a scoring drive on their first possession of the second half for a 31-14 lead.

Hampton (4-3, 1-2 Coastal Athletic Association) announced earlier this week that Trent Boykin became the 22nd head coach in program history after his interim tag was removed. Boykin joined the Pirates staff in 2020 after serving as the running game coordinator at Akron from 2012-18.

Justin Fomby was intercepted two times for North Carolina A&T (1-6, 0-3).
