Allentown, Pa. – Casey Fosebenner kicked three field goals and the defense made two big plays in the final five minutes as the Muhlenberg football team held on to defeat Dickinson, 15-13, for its fourth straight win.
Nick Palladino completed 11 of 24 passes for 153 yards to tie the Mules' all-time mark of 6,938 career passing yards, set by Michael McCabe in 2000.
The Red Devils (3-5, 3-4) trailed 15-7 at the half and after a scoreless third quarter but rallied to make the game interesting at the end thanks to a defense that haled Muhlenberg (6-2, 5-2) to 12 total yards in the fourth quarter.
Taking over at the Mule 48 with 8:45 to play, Dickinson scored its second touchdown on a fourth-down pass of 2 yards from Billy Burger to Jake Meluskey. On the potential game-tying two-point conversion attempt, Burger completed to Anders Overhaug near the sideline, but Luke Wiley tackled him a yard short of the end zone.
The Red Devils kicked deep and got the ball back at their own 48 with 2:41 to play. On fourth-and-5, Burger completed a pass over the middle to Ryan Shutte, but George DiFiore tackled him immediately, a half-yard short of the first down.
Muhlenberg ran all but 2 seconds of the rest of the time off the clock, and Dickinson's last-second pass from its own 20 gained only 16 yards.
Fosbenner, who came into the game with only one made field goal on the season, connected from 48, 35 and 32 yards in the first 20 minutes of the game to stake the Mules to a 9-0 lead.
Dickinson scored the first touchdown of the game on a 29-yard pass from Burger to Jake Walbert with 1:07 left in the half. Muhlenberg needed only two plays to answer: a 59-yard kickoff return by Ryan Delaney and a 41-yard pass from Palladino to Nick Lamb. The extra point was wide right, however, leaving it a one-possession game.
Mike Luby recorded four sacks for a defense that allowed the Red Devils, who came in averaging 228.1 rushing yards per game, to 27 yards on 30 carries. Michael Hogan added five tackles, including two for loss, and cornerback Khiry Hughes had his first career sack.
Matt Aspinwall averaged 41.4 yards on seven punt, downing three of them inside the 5-yard line.
Burger was 17-of-28 for 164 yards. Kevin Sherry led the Red Devil defense with 13 tackles, including 2½ for loss, and a fumble recovery.
