FB: Middle Atlantic Conference

[butkus20]

with SU departure from the MAC approaching quickly, does anyone know if Sus will keep Lyco on the schedule as one of the non conference games? While the rivalry has certainly lost its flair over the past few seasons, its still one of the best rivalries in all of D3... I'd hate to see it go away..  Anyway, if anyone knows, please lemme know

Score update at the half from Edwardsville, Pa.:

Delaware Valley 7
Wilkes 0

TD pass from Mike Isgro to Don Marshall for the only points.

I'm not sure the Colonels have a first down yet.

Tied at 7 as momentum starts to swing

Wilkes ball at tDel Val's 37...1252 left

[gordonmann]

Aggies have a chance to win on a 30-yard field goal that is no good.  The snap and the kicker slipped in the mud.

In OT Wilkes scores on the second play on a 25-yard pass from Karaffa to Matt Pizarro (which will make one board poster happy).

Delaware Valley has a fourth and 8 from the 17 to tie but the ball slips out of Isgro's hand and falls incomplete.

Final score

Wilkes 14
Delaware Valley 7 OT

[WUMAC]

OT baby wilkes wins, hell yea

Posters,
What a great game played by both Wilkes and DVC today.  It's a pity when anybody has to come out on the bottom of a game like that.  Congratulations Wilkes!  Congratulations to the Dutchmen and the Warriors.  I still feel when this thing plays out, Lyco will be on top.  This will prove quite an accomplishment considering many here felt you could stick a fork in the Warriors, pursuant to posts last season.  Today's scores prove parity exists in the MAC.  Go Dutchmen and go Warriors!

There still continue to be rumors of MAC schools including Lyco heading to the Empire 8 for football.  Anyone hear anything down there?

[JT]

Nice game call today Gordon.

JT:

Thank you.

deleware valley played an amazing game today it just wasnt their turn... both teams played well... im sorry gordon but there was no slip on the field goal, however there was no block either, the kicker simply had a bad kick... what a great game tho... perhaps my prediction earlier could be correct tho... wilkes wins the mac and del val comes in 2nd with an at-large bid... just fun to predict

[gordonmann]

The ball never got off the ground (or barely did) on the snap and the hold basically pinned it to the ground.

And someone on the sideline with a very good view told me the kicker's plant foot slipped.

Nevertheless, a fun game and a deserved win for the Wilkes Colonels and their crowd.

I am cofused by all the lyco talk. I must have seen the score wrong. I thought they just squeeked by Juniata on Saturday. I guess juniata must be much improved this season.

I did not hear the game or have not read the aftermath and all - but a win is a win is a win.

From where I sit, given the extensive history between Widener and Lycoming - any victory over those folks who used to call themselves Pennsylvania Military is a major accomplishment - a squeaker against Juniata the week prior notwithstanding.

GO WARRIORS!  Congrats to the lads on D and the O line.  It must have been a war in the trenches to be sure.

Simba - did you catch the action today?

I agree with other posters - regarding parity in the MAC - but differ on how we got there - Lyco has not fallen off - other schools - some coached by former Lycoming coaches and players - have stepped up in big ways through recruitment, facilities, coaches, playmaking etc.  The MAC has always been a meat grinder even with one team dominant - it looks like another season of good 'ole "smash mouth football."
