But the nationally ranked Warhawks flexed their muscles in the fourth quarter, scoring 35 unanswered points to dash Belhaven's hopes of pulling off an upset.

Huntingdon has earned victories over Louisiana College and Birmingham-Southern College to begin the 2016 season with a 2-0 mark. 

The Hawks finished the 2015 season with a 10-2 overall record and a perfect 7-0 mark in the USA South Conference. Huntindgon advanced to the second round of the 2015 NCAA Division III Playoffs before falling to Mary Hardin-Baylor.

Belhaven will need to slow down a Huntingdon team that has plenty of offensive powerfire on its side, averaging 50.5 points and 578.5 total yards of offense per game through the first two weeks of the season. Starting running back John Iwaneic has been a force for the Hawks, averaging 108.5 yards per game with a 5.9 yards per carry average. Quarterback Luke Bailey has thrown for 691 yards and six touchdowns with zero interceptions. Otis Porter has led the receiving corps with 248 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
