Colgate Falls to Penn on the Road

Colgate Falls 25-14 to Penn

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. – A strong performance by the defense in the first half, couldn't overcome a Penn comeback of 25-14
 
Marquis Cooper scored his first career touchdown off a pick-six to get the only Raider touchdown of the game. Spencer Biscoe finished the day 2-2 in field goals and 1-1 in extra-point kicks.
 
Colgate started the game punting away its first possession, but the defense made up for it on Penn's first drive. The Quakers were intercepted by Jackson Price on the Colgate 46-yard line. Colgate capitalized on the interception with a 44-yard field goal by Spencer Biscoe.
 
Penn would retaliate with a 16-play possession that tied up the game with a 19-yard field goal. The two field goals would be the only points scored by both teams to end the first.
 
The second quarter started with both defenses putting on a show as the first three possessions of the quarter were punted away. The third, a 47-yard punt by Shelby Pruett and excellent play by the special teams, made Penn start their second possession at their 1-yard line.
 
Later in the third, a personal foul for 15-yards on Penn resulted in a Colgate first down at the Penn 47-yard. The Raiders would take advantage of Penn's blunder, as Biscoe added a 25-yard field goal to the scoreboard to get the lead back for Colgate.
 
The defense would continue to put on a show, as Cooper intercepted the Quakers scoring a 68-yard rushing touchdown, bumping the score up to 12-3. The Raiders were not done there, as Colgate went for the trick play when Biscoe was up for the extra point. Linebacker Drew Frankel rushed it in for two points. The Raiders led 14-3 going into halftime.
 
Unfortunately for Colgate, the second half of play would be all Penn as the Raiders were held scoreless in the final two quarters.
 
Penn opened the third quarter with a 13-play, 1-yard touchdown. To the Raiders' benefit, the Quakers missed the extra point kick.
 
The Quakers tallied their second touchdown of the third to lead for the first time in the game. Penn's offense tried for the two-point conversion, but they were unsuccessful, keeping their lead to only one point.
 
Penn opened the fourth quarter with a 10-yard rushing touchdown, extending the lead to seven points.
 
 Michael Brescia connected with Max Hurleman for 54-yards on the Raiders' first possession of the fourth quarter. The Raiders could not capitalize on the play and had to punt again.
 
Penn scored one more field goal to cap off the scoring in the game with less than a minute and a half left.  
 
FROM THE SOURCE
Fred '50 and Marilyn Dunlap Head Football Coach Stan Dakosty
 
"Penn came out well coached and well prepared. They came out in the second half like the first never happened, which turned the page for the game.
 
"We go onto a big Patriot League game. They're having a great year so far. We have to see who we have available and get the guys ready to go. We have a long season ahead of us.
 
"Our guys fight. I told them after the game, you can only fight so much, then you have to execute."
 
UP NEXT
Colgate returns to Hamilton for the first home game of the 2022 season. The Raiders take on the Holy Cross Crusaders for a Homecoming showdown. Kickoff is slated for 1 p.m. inside Andy Kerr Stadium.
