9/29/07 -- Senior Tom Laurich (Warminster, PA) drilled a 22-yard field goal with 4:31 left in Widener's 16-14 Middle Atlantic Conference victory at Lycoming in Williamsport, PA.

During the winning drive, senior Matt Campbell (Broomall, PA) found sophomore Ian Decker (Phillipsburg, NJ) for 12 yards to the Lycoming 32 yard line on third and 10. Widener (2-2, 1-0 MAC) also converted a first down to the Warriors 24 yard line when the home team was called for pass interference.

Four plays later, Laurich's field goal ended a 12-play, 47-yard drive spanning almost seven minutes.
Lycoming (0-4, 0-1 MAC) on the ensuing drive almost hit a big play when Tim Hook completed a 46-yard pass to Bill Margetich at the Widener 25 yard line. But the play was called back due to an ineligible man downfield.

Hook ran seven yards on fourth and six to the Lycoming 43 yard line and later hooked up with Josh Kleinfelter on a nine-yard pass to the Widener 41. But the drive ended four plays later when junior TD Davis (Reisterstown, MD) intercepted Hook's pass at the Pride 16.

Campbell completed 16-of-27 passes for 190 yards and one touchdown. Junior Steve Cook (Drexel Hill, PA) had 20 carries for 73 yards, senior Mike Falkenstein (Newark, DE) notched several key plays en route to five catches for 64 yards and senior John Martorell (Aston, PA) ended with 10 tackles.

Hook completed 22-of-31 passes for 151 yards and one score. Margetich finished with seven completions for 55 yards.

Widener's defense played solidly by yielding just 88 yards rushing, including just 25 over the final three quarters. The Pride ended with a 280-239 advantage in total yards.

Lycoming opened the scoring 25 seconds in when Kleinfelter broke loose on a 61-yard scoring run. Widener scored on its first possession for the third time this year when Campbell found senior Jamie Schild (Fairport, NY) on a 23-yard touchdown pass and a 7-6 deficit after Laurich's missed extra point.

Cook ran it in from one yard with 48 seconds left in the first for a 13-7 Widener lead. It remained that way until the fourth quarter when Bill Bulmahn caught a nine-yard touchdown pass from Hook with 11:10 to play for a 14-13 Lycoming lead, preceding the winning drive.

Widener is at Leslie C. Quick Jr. Stadium on Homecoming Weekend next week against King's at 1:00 pm.
