@Widener_FB Dealt Setback at Stevenson

OWINGS MILLS, Md. – Sean McGaughey eclipsed the 5,000-yard mark for career passing, as the Widener University football team fell to the Stevenson Mustangs 36-10 on Saturday afternoon.
 
After a couple missed opportunities early for the Pride, Stevenson scored the first points of the game with a touchdown in opening minutes of the second quarter. Widener got on the board with 10:53 left in the first half on a 32-yard field goal by Trevor Mavromihalis, cutting the lead to 7-3. After initially appearing to stop the Mustangs on the ensuing drive, a penalty gave SU new life. Stevenson cashed in with a score to make it 13-3 at the break.
 
After receiving the opening kickoff in the second half, the Mustangs drove to the Widener five before fumbling. Ryan Beck recovered the ball on the ground, giving the Pride possession. The Blue and Gold started driving, but a tipped pass was intercepted and returned for a score, extending the Stevenson lead to 20-3. Trailing early in the fourth quarter, Widener pulled closer on a five-yard touchdown run by Chris Randle, making it 26-10.
