DOVER, Del. — Eagles freshman running back Gino Addison rushed for a career-high 214 yards and two touchdowns on 31 carries, powering North Carolina Central (3-5, 1-0 MEAC) to a 31-12 victory over Delaware State (4-4, 0-1 MEAC) in front of 2,503 spectators at Alumni Stadium in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference ( MEAC ) opener for both programs.

North Carolina Central needed the victory to end its four-game losing streak, and Gino Addison delivered much more Friday night in Dover.

The Eagles controlled the trenches on both sides of the football. They dominated the game’s time of possession and scored 21 unanswered points in the second half before Delaware State added a touchdown as time expired.

Coach Oliver has another star running back as Addison averaged 6.9 yards per carry and scored on runs of 6 and 16 yards in the second half.…
