(MARIETTA, Ohio) – The Wilmington College football team lost on the road at Marietta College Saturday afternoon, 38-10. The Quakers trailed by just one at 8-7 after the first quarter, but that was as close as they would get as they fall to 2-7 overall this season.
Wilmington scored their lone touchdown in the first quarter on a drive that started at their own 20-yard line. The big play to get the drive going was a
Miles Hostetler pass to
Xander Logan for 47 yards to move to the Pioneers 37-yard line.
A pass to
Bryce Stout for 31 yards set the Quakers up for a five-yard touchdown pass to
Joseph Spann.
The Quakers best chance down the stretch came after an interception by
Miller Fall and ensuing facemask penalty by Marietta set Wilmington up at the Pioneers three-yard line. A sack sunk the Quakers chances of a touchdown and
Camden Marx hit a 25-yard field goal for Wilmington's final points of the game.
