HAMPTON — What began as Hampton’s cleanest start of the season unraveled in stunning fashion.

Hampton dropped its fifth straight game Saturday, a 55-14 loss to William & Mary at Armstrong Stadium, despite racing out to a two-touchdown lead. The 55 points were the Pirates’ second-most allowed this season, trailing only the 56 points surrendered to Villanova on Oct. 18.

The Pirates (2-9, 0-7 CAA) opened with a 14-play, 75-yard march capped by a 3-yard scoring run from freshman Gracen Goldsmith, their first opening-drive touchdown this season. On the next possession, Hampton picked off W&M quarterback Tyler Hughes, snapping his school-record streak of 266 passes without an interception.
