Saturday the Cavs trailed 14-12 early in the third quarter. Defensive end Jon Nacy batted the Southern Virginia pass into the air and Dorsainvil ( Virginia Beach, VA/ Salem) snatched it out of the air to rumble 57 yards for the go ahead touchdown and 18-14 score. UVa-Wise would not relinquish the lead the rest of the game but added on more fourth quarter touchdown for the 25-14 final.

Dorsainvil’s outstanding day included eight tackles, six solo, three tackles for loss of seven yards, one sack of six yards, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery and the interception for the score.
