Greensboro College's first winning football season is no more.

The NCAA told the school it must forfeit two wins because an ineligible student played. The Pride's win over Guilford College and its victory at Washington & Lee are now losses by forfeit.

Greensboro College says it learned after the third week of the season that one of its football players might have been ineligible. Athletics Director Jean Lojko reported the information to the NCAA, and the player was no longer allowed to participate with the team, according to a statement from Greensboro College.

"This was a very unfortunate administrative oversight and was not the fault of the student-athlete," said head coach Randy Hunt.

The NCAA directs schools in such situations to record the contest results but to add an asterisk and footnote indicating the games were later forfeited. The Pride beat Guilford 12-7 on Sept. 5 and defeated Washington & Lee 26-20 on Sept. 19.

Greensboro College says it has contacted those two schools about the infraction and the NCAA's decision.

The Pride's 2009 football record will be 4-6. USA South Athletic Conference wins were not affected.
