ORANGEGBURG, S.C. (AP) - Lamar Raynard threw a pair of touchdown passes and North Carolina A&T remained unbeaten after a 21-7 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference win over South Carolina State Saturday.

North Carolina A&T now has won three straight over the Bulldogs, who had won the previous 10 straight meetings.

Noel Ruiz kicked a 36-yard field goal to get the Aggies (5-0, 2-0) on the board and added field goals from 41- and 27-yards out, but missed a PAT on North Carolina A&T's first touchdown, a 14-yard pass from Raynard to Malik Wilson in the second quarter.

Raynard added a 71-yard touchdown pass to Xavier Griffin in the third quarter and completed 18 of 31 passes for 298 yards, with one interception.

Dewann Ford hit Trey Samuel with a 33-yard touchdown pass to get South Carolina State (1-3, 0-2) on the board in the fourth quarter and avoid the shutout.
