RICHMOND, Va. (AP) Dejon Brissett returned a punt 92 yards for a touchdown and Griffin Trau kicked four field goals to lead Richmond to a 39-10 win over North Carolina A&T in the first round of the FCS playoffs on Saturday.

Brissett's return, the longest touchdown of the season by the Spiders, put Richmond up 14-7 in the first quarter. Trau kicked three field goals in the second quarter, giving him a single-season record of 20 and pushing the lead to 23-7.

Trau matched the single-game record with his fourth in the third quarter.

Richmond (9-3) plays at seventh-seeded North Dakota (9-2) next Saturday.
