SHEPHERDSTOWN, W.Va. – Senior quarterback Connor Jessop (Ashburn, Va./Broad Run /Virginia Tech) completed 35-of-48 passes for 476 yards and five touchdowns and rushed seven times for 50 yards and a pair of scores to lead Shepherd University (1-0, 1-0 MEC) to a 54-49 win over Notre Dame College (0-1, 0-1 MEC) in MEC football action at Ram Stadium on Saturday.

Shepherd took a 7-0 lead when senior quarterback Jessop teamed with sophomore wide receiver Hakeem Holland (Baltimore, Md./St. Francis/Virginia Union) on a 16-yard scoring pass with 13:02 left in the first quarter. Senior kicker Zach Wise (Berkeley Springs, W.Va./Berkeley Springs) added the extra point.

Senior inside linebacker James Gupton (Waldorf, Md./North Point) (7 solo) and senior defensive end Myles Humphrey (Upper Marlboro, Md./Dr. Henry A. Wise) (8 solo) each led the Rams with 10 tackles apiece. Gupton had two tackles-for-loss and a forced fumble, while Humphrey had three tackles for loss and a pair of sacks. Tre'von Slater and Alex Zeich each had seven stops to lead Notre Dame.

Notes: Jessop's 476 passing yards are four yards shy of the Shepherd single game mark of 480 that he set against West Virginia State last year … Jessop's five touchdown passes tie a school single game mark … the 103 totals points scored in the game surpass the program mark for most points for both teams set in 2007 when California (Pa.) and Shepherd combined for 96 points.
