Tigers Fall on the Road at #7 Tribe

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. – The Towson football team answered the bell every time they were knocked down, but in the end it was not enough as the Tigers fell, 31-17, to No. 7 William & Mary Saturday afternoon at Zable Stadium.
 
How it Happened
  • Towson got on the board on their second possession of the game as they took 9:08 off the clock and got a 34-yard field goal from Sam Hurwitz.
  • The Tribe were able to answer back and score their first touchdown of the game to take a 10-3 lead into halftime.
  • The turning point of the game came midway through the third quarter when a pass into the flat was ruled a lateral and the Tribe ran it in for a touchdown to take a 17-3 lead. 
  • Towson quickly responded as they needed just six plays to reach the endzone. 
  • After Darius Victor started the drive with a 16-yard run, Connor Frazier hit Christian Summers for 34 yards to set the Tigers up in the red zone.
  • On the next play, Darius Victor scored from 13-yards out to trim the deficit to 17-10.
  • On the ensuing possession, Eddie Releford forced a fumble that was recovered by Mike Kelly near midfield.

Head Coach Rob Ambrose
"I give a lot of credit to William & Mary.  They are a veteran oriented team.  They did a great job against our defense.  I thought we played well at times defensively.  Offensively, we just shot ourselves in the foot too many times.  We can't get in the red zone twice, get down to the one and have a penalty take it away.  Then throw a pick in the red zone when you don't need to.  Too many mistakes to beat the No. 7 team in the country. 
 
"I am proud of my kids.  They fought hard and we had a chance to win the ballgame, but we can't make those kinds of mistakes."
 
The Tigers close out the regular season Nov. 21 when they host Rhode Island on Senior Day.  Kickoff is set for 2 p.m. at Unitas Stadium.
 
In a partnership with the Maryland Food Bank, all fans are encouraged to bring canned food items to the game.  Canned good will be accepted at all gates to Unitas Stadium.
