DOVER, Del. (AP) - Shayne Smith threw for three touchdowns in his first career start and Delaware State ended its season with a 41-7 victory over Virginia-Lynchburg on Saturday.

Smith, a sophomore and the third-string quarterback coming into the season, was 16 of 19 for 212 yards passing.

Taronn Selby made eight catches for a career-best 155 yards and two touchdowns in his final game while another senior, Brycen Alleyne, rushed for 116 yards and two touchdowns on 15 carries.

Delaware State led 41-0 at halftime.

The Hornets outgained the Dragons 536-145, including 306-19 on the ground, and intercepted four passes, the most they have snagged since picking off four against Concord in 2006.

Delaware (3-8) won three of its last four games and finished with its most wins since going 5-6 in 2013.

The Dragons are a National Christian College Athletic Association program.
