WASHINGTON — Ashten Snelsire threw a pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns and Richmond rallied to beat Georgetown 31-24 on Saturday.

Hart rushed for 128 yards on 21 carries with two touchdowns for the Hoyas (5-5, 2-3). Dez Thomas threw for 121 yards and a touchdown to Jimmy Kibble, who had nine catches for 97 yards.
