DURHAM, N.C. -- Chauncey Caldwell capped a late drive with a touchdown plunge to give North Carolina Central a 40-35 victory over Howard on Saturday afternoon.

He found a hole on the right side and scored from the 3 with 24 seconds left as North Carolina Central (2-3, 1-1) grabbed its first Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference win. Howard was not finished.
