SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- After several tough losses, including an overtime heartbreaker against No. 3 Clemson, North Carolina State is now poised to go to a bowl.All they need is one more win.Matt Dayes ran for 108 yards and three touchdowns, and the NC State defense held Syracuse to 218 yards in a 35-20 victory on Saturday.The resiliency of our football team, losing four of our five games by a possession, theyve been able to stick together. Im really proud of them today, Wolfpack coach Dave Doeren said. This gets that carrot in front of their nose for the bowl opportunity. You want to feel the pleasure of your work and you cant do that by almost winning. This gives them the satisfaction of the grind and they needed that today.I feel very confident about our bowl chances, added defensive end Bradley Chubb. We have two opportunities and need just one more win.Ryan Finley was 20-of-29 for 340 yards and one touchdown for the Wolfpack (5-5, 2-4 ACC). Kelvin Harmon had 101 yards receiving and one touchdown and BraLon Cherry had seven receptions. Dayes scored on runs of 7, 20, and 13 yards.The Wolfpack defense held the Orange, 113th nationally in rushing, to just 28 yards on the ground and 190 yards passing.Syracuse (4-6, 2-4) played without sophomore quarterback Eric Dungey, who was hit in the head/shoulder area during the first quarter of a 54-0 loss to No. 3 Clemson last weekend. Dungey, third in the ACC and 16th nationally in passing yards, was replaced by junior Zack Mahoney. Dungey practiced during the week but was not cleared by the teams medical staff.Obviously, we were at a disadvantage without Eric Dungey being able to participate, said Syracuse coach Dino Babers. Before the Clemson game, I think he was ranked in the top 10 quarterbacks in the country. Obviously, we missed him a great deal out there. There wouldve been a lot of things that we couldve taken advantage of.The Orange was also without starting wide receiver Steven Ismael who dressed but not play. Ishmael has 41 receptions this season.Mahoney, a walk-on who was awarded a scholarship before the 2016 season, led the Orange to a touchdown on their first drive. He was 5-of-6 passing, including a 12-yard completion to Erv Philips on fourth down. But the Orange offense bogged down the rest of the half, managing just a 48-yard field goal by Cole Murphy.Mahoney finished 13-of-24 for 190 yards, a touchdown and interception. Amba Etta-Tawo caught three passes for 84 yards and one touchdown.THE TAKEAWAY:NC State: The Wolfpack can qualify for a bowl game by winning one of their remaining games against Miami or No. 15 North Carolina.Syracuse: With the status of Eric Dungey uncertain, the Orange will have a tough time getting to six wins with games against Florida State and at Pitt.UP NEXT:NC State: The Wolfpack returns home for a contest against Miami on Saturday.Syracuse: The Orange has its work cut out for it with a matchup against the No. 19 Florida State on Saturday.

Two women who reported being gang raped by multiple football players in 2012 reached a financial settlement on Tuesday with Baylor University, and details of the alleged sexual assaults hadnt previously been reported in the media.Baylor officials have said previously that 17 women had reported 19 sexual or physical assaults involving football players since 2011, including four gang rapes. According to university officials, the alleged incidents that led to Tuesdays settlement were included in the four gang rapes.The terms of the settlement with the university were undisclosed and the women never filed a lawsuit. No details about the nature of the assaults, the players involved or the women who reported the rapes were released.One of the two women also reported being physically assaulted by a football player in 2013.In a joint statement issued by the womens attorneys and the university, Baylor interim president David E. Garland confirmed that the football players implicated in these reported sexual assaults and the athletic department personnel identified as having received the report of physical assault in 2013 are no longer a part of the university.It breaks my heart that even one student would be sexually assaulted while a part of this university. I offer my sincere apologies, both personally and on behalf of the university, that we did not do more to prevent, respond to or support the care of these young women, Garland said.Since the time of the reported assaults, Baylor has established a full-time Title IX office, created a specific Title IX policy and instituted a prevention and education program for all students, faculty and staff, the statement read.ddddddddddddIn the statement, the womens attorneys, John Clune and Chris Ford?of Boulder, Colorado, commended Baylor for its recent work in improving its handling of sexual assaults and following up on the findings of law firm Pepper Hamilton, which Baylor hired last year to review the universitys response to sexual assault cases involving students.Were very glad to get these cases resolved, Clune told Outside the Lines. They were two of the most horrific and heartbreaking stories that weve ever heard. Hopefully, the settlement will help them both in their recovery and, more important, to be able to finish their education.Clune also represented the former soccer player who accused former Baylor football player Sam Ukwuachu of rape. Ukwuachu was criminally convicted of sexual assault in August 2015, and his case is currently being appealed. The woman reached an undisclosed financial settlement with Baylor last December.Earlier this month, the school issued a statement describing a gang rape involving a different female student athlete -- identified by sources as a volleyball player -- about which several athletic department officials and coaches had been told but did not report to judicial affairs or anyone outside of athletics. Baylor assistant coaches disputed the schools assertion and sources told Outside the Lines that the incident was reported to judicial affairs.Four federal Title IX gender-equity lawsuits are pending against Baylor, three of which involve women who said they were assaulted by a football player.
