WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (AP) Jalen Hampton ran for two of his three touchdowns in the fourth quarter as Elon Phoenix erased a 15-point deficit after three quarters to earn a 35-31 win over William & Mary Tribe in the Colonial Athletic Association opener for both schools Saturday.

Darius Wilson threw all three of his touchdown passes in the first half as the Tribe took a 28-10 lead into intermission.
Matthew McKay hit Bryson Daughtry from 18 yards out with 5:06 left in the third quarter to pull the Phoenix within two scores, 28-16, but William & Mary answered with a 46-yard field goal by Ethan Chang with 2:53 left to make it 31-16.

After Elon forced a three-and-out, it marched 84 yards in seven plays, taking the lead on Hampton's 15-yard run with 1:07 left.
Hampton finished with 145 yards on 28 carries to lead Elon (3-1, 1-0). McKay was 16-of-28 passing for 207 yards and a touchdown and ran 14 times for 85 yards.
