DURHAM, N.C. -- Chauncey Caldwell threw for two touchdowns and ran in another as North Carolina Central took an early lead and held on for a 24-17 win over Gardner-Webb on Saturday.

The Eagles took a 17-3 lead into the fourth quarter before Tyrell Maxwell broke for a 23-yard scoring run to close to 17-10. NCCU (5-1) answered two plays later as Caldwell launched an 89-yard scoring strike to McKoy to go ahead 24-10. Maxwell ran in from the 21 after a 12-play, 99-yard drive for the final score.
