WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (AP) — Mikal Abdul-Saboor ran 37 times for a career-high 198 yards and William & Mary snapped a two-game losing streak with a 31-17 win over Delaware on Saturday.

Abdul-Saboor also ran for two touchdowns and tied Jon Smith for the seventh best single-game rushing performance for William & Mary (5-3, 2-2 Colonial Athletic Association). Abdul-Saboor’s second touchdown run gave the Tribe a 31-14 lead with 9:23 left in the fourth quarter.
