Gardner-Webb (2-8, 1-4) attempted to rally but Lucas Beatty turned the ball over on back-to-back Bulldog possessions.

Charleston Southern took advantage of those turnovers, as Dixon scored on a 15-yard run following Beatty's first interception and Teddy Allen ran one in from 31 yards after Beatty's second.

Allen finished with 107 yards on 16 carries.
