The field goal came after Presbyterian had blocked an SFU field goal.  Solano catches for 10 and 22 yards and a 29-yard run by Jordan-Toney helped the Red Flash to move the ball to the PC 13.  A 30-yard attempt by Bofenkamp was blocked.
 
Presbyterian extended its lead to 5-0 early in the second quarter.  On fourth down, the punt snap went over Andrew Zecca (Berkeley Heights, N.J./Gov. Livingston)'s head into the end zone.  Zecca pushed it out of the end zone to prevent a touchdown recovery.
 
After the safety, Presbyterian drove down to the SFU 27.  However, Norton's 44-yard attempt was blocked up the middle by Shawn McCord (Aberdeen, N.J./Red Bank Catholic) and Lee.
 
The Blue Hose took a 12-0 lead on another big special teams play.  After a high snap to Zecca, Presbyterian's Rod Haygood blocked the punt.  It was picked up by Malachi Brown at the PC 17 and returned for a touchdown. Presbyterian led by 12 with 4:33 to go in the half.
 
After an interception by Fenimore was returned to the Presbyterian 48 by Ya-Sin, on the first play of the drive, Mark Robinson was stripped by Lee.  Gartner picked up the ball at the PC 49 and returned it for a touchdown.  The extra point cut the deficit to 12-7 Presbyterian with 6:28 left in the third quarter.
 
Presbyterian extended its lead to 19-7 with 9:43 left in the fourth quarter on a 50-yard touchdown catch by Watson.  On third down, Cheek threw a pass to Watson that was tipped by Hakeem Kinard (York, Pa./York Catholic), but landed in Watson's hands behind the defense.  He took it the rest of the way for a score.
 
The Red Flash responded with a 75-yard drive in just 1:35 to cut the deficit to 19-14 with 8:08 remaining.  Jordan-Toney caught a screen pass and found his way up the sideline for a 15-yard score. Fenimore connected with Holder on a 42-yard pass to move the ball to the PC 28.  A 13-yard catch by Lewis setup the touchdown catch by Jordan-Toney.
 
However, Presbyterian responded with a scoring drive to move it back to a two-score game, 26-14, with 4:01 to go.  Marable scored on a 12-yard run up the middle.  A 42-yard reception by Davis moved the ball down to the SFU 12.
 
The Red Flash resumes Northeast Conference play next Saturday, October 14 as it travels to Bryant.  Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. at Beirne Stadium, with a broadcast on NEC Front Row.  Bryant is 2-3 this season and will play its NEC opener after this week's bye week.
