Chowan (4-2, 2-1 CIAA) didn't allow Bowie State to score again and got then got a 39-yard Randall Dixon touchdown pass just before halftime and then a 36-yarder midway through the fourth quarter to pull within seven.   Chowan got one more chance late in the fourth quarter but the Bowie State defense held as the Hawks could only reach midfield.
