CONWAY, S.C. – The Hampton University football team wrapped up the 2016 season on Saturday afternoon with a 26-7 loss to No. 15 Coastal Carolina at Brooks Stadium.

The Pirates finished the season at 5-6 overall and 5-3 in MEAC play.

Christian Faber-Kinney wound up being the Pirates' top rusher, thanks to a 34-yard run after a fake field goal that wound up being Hampton's only touchdown of the game.

The Chanticleers opened the scoring with 7:08 left in the first quarter, capping off an 8-play, 65-yard drive with a 30-yard touchdown run from De'Angelo Henderson. Ryan Granger then added a 26-yard field goal with 1:17 left in the first quarter to give Coastal a 10-0 lead.

Granger also had two field goals in the second quarter, hitting from 30 and 25 yards respectively to put the Chanticleers up 16-0.

That led held not just at the half, but throughout the third quarter.

Coastal answered immediately, as Ky'Jon Tyler ran back the ensuing kickoff 77 yards to put the Chanticleers up 23-7.

Granger added a 20-yard field goal with 2:44 left to make the lead 26-7.
