Wildcats Suffer Heartbreaker at LSC-Leading Angelo State

SAN ANGELO, Texas – The Central Washington University Football Team (6-3, 5-2 LSC) suffered a heart-breaking 17-16 defeat at Angelo State (7-2, 7-0 LSC) Saturday evening.
 
QUOTING CWU HEAD FOOTBALL COACH CHRIS FISK
 
"I'm proud of the effort our kids played with tonight. We didn't play clean enough to beat a good team like Angelo. We had too many penalties, too many missed assignments, and need to be more disciplined to beat a team like that. Time to regroup and get ready for Sul Ross State next Saturday."
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
 
  • The Rams opened the game in a big way, as Braeden Fuller connected with Zeek Freeman for a 75-yard touchdown on the first play of the game to put ASU up 7-0.
  • Both teams went back-and-forth until the 'Cats started their third drive of the game with 5:58 left in the first quarter.
  • Kennedy McGill rushed for 25 quick yards to set CWU up at midfield as the 'Cats kept pounding their way down the field setting up a 22-yard field goal attempt by Cooper Britton that would go through the uprights as time expired to make it 7-3 Angelo after the first.
  • ASU responded marching down the field before stalling out at the CWU 29-yard line to set up the 47-yard field goal by Bradley Larson that would be good and make it 10-3 ASU.
  • CWU responded as McGill found Marcus Cook for a 40-yard reception and with Flanagan rushing for 18 yards, helped set up McGill to run in an eight-yard touchdown with Britton converting the PAT to tie things up at 10.
  • The Rams would take the lead going into halftime after taking advantage of a shortened field as Jayden Jones rushed the final yard for the touchdown to make it 17-10 heading into the break.
  • Both teams battled back and forth in the third quarter, but ASU maintained their 17-10 lead.
  • The Wildcat defense did what it does best and shut down the ASU offense, despite an interception by the Rams with just under eight minutes to go, giving the ball back to the offense with 5:48 remaining.
  • McGill round open space for a 21-yard gain followed by an 11-yard completion put the 'Cats within the Rams 20-yard line. McGill found a 10-yard gain on the ground and was followed by Flanagan running it in the final nine yards to score a touchdown with 34 seconds remaining, but unfortunately the PAT swung wide left securing the 17-16 victory for ASU.
