TOWSON, Md. - The 2014-15 school year saw plenty of success on the field, on the court and in the pool for the Tiger Athletics Department. Over the next several weeks, TowsonTigers.com will look back at the Top 10 moments from the 2014-15 year.
The past year proved to be a balanced one across the board as voting by members of the athletics staff saw 26 different moments receive a vote and 13 of the 19 teams be recognized in either the Top 10 or the honorable mention.
The Top 10 kicks off with a comeback victory from the Tiger football team.
Down seven with 8:23 left in the fourth quarter would be a tough task for most teams, down by that margin and playing on the road at your archrival could feel like an impossible hurdle to overcome.
Luckily for the Tiger football team on October 19 at Delaware, the black and gold seized momentum and rallied for the victory.
Trailing 17-10 with 8:23 left in the fourth quarter, quarterback
Connor Frazier led the Tigers down the field for a game-tying drive. The junior connected on four of five passes during the drive, including a 39-yard touchdown pass to senior
Spencer Wilkins. Frazier found Wilkins at the 35-yard line and the wideout broke three tackles and sprinted the final 30 yards to tie the game at 17-17 with 5:23 remaining.
The Towson defense, which forced a season-high four turnovers on the afternoon, stepped up big on the ensuing Delaware drive and forced a Blue Hen punt after three straight rushes.
Frazier and the Tiger offense took over on their own 41 with 5:23 remaining. The junior quarterback went 3-for-3 and completed passes to three different receivers on the drive, but sophomore running back
Darius Victor was the story. He had 33 yards on five rushes during the drive and his 17-yard touchdown scamper to the left side gave Towson a 24-17 lead with just 49 seconds remaining.
Delaware managed one first down on its final drive, but redshirt freshman
James Simms picked off a
Trent Hurley pass with 26 seconds remaining to seal the win for the Tigers.
Victor finished with a game-high 113 yards on 21 carries. Frazier finished 19 of 32 through the air for 181 yards and two touchdowns, both career highs.
