Flash fall in final seconds

The Associated Press

NEW YORK — D’Erren Wilson threw an 18-yard touchdown pass to Chris Woodard off a reverse and Wagner snatched a 23-22 victory from Saint Francis with 6 seconds left to play on Saturday.

Wagner (2-5, 1-1 Northeast Conference) led until the fourth quarter when the Saint Francis defense sparked a Red Flash surge.

Saint Francis (2-4, 0-1) forced a fumble from Wagner’s All-American running back Ryan Fulse, and Jymere Jordan-Toney scored from the 11 one play later to cut the Seahawks’ lead to 16-14.

Saint Francis grabbed a 22-16 lead with about two minutes remaining when Bear Fenimore lofted a touchdown pass over the shoulder of a tightly covered Kam Lewis, and then found Terrell Johnson for the two-point conversion.

Fulse, the FCS rushing leader, gained 102 yards on 30 carries for the Seahawks and is now over 1,000 yards on the season.

Fenimore led the Red Flash by completing 13 of 32 passes for 161 yards and two scores.

Saint Francis committed two turnovers in the game while Wagner only lost the ball one time.

The Red Flash host Duquesne this Saturday at noon. Wagner is off this Saturday and will play at Central Connecticut State on Saturday, Oct. 27.
