He finished the game with three tackles and a pass breakup to go along with his two interceptions.
Dalton, a sophomore from Berryville, Va., was nearly perfect in the Cavaliers’ 41-9 win over Ferrum. He connected on two of three field goal attempts, including a 50-yard field goal and was a perfect 5-for-5 on extra point attempts. He finished the game accounting for 11 of UVA Wise’s points.
