Rob J. Moore - Villanova jumped to an early lead in the opening moments of the 1st quarter with a 7yd touchdown pass from quarterback Jack Schetelich, who stepped in for Zach Bednarczyk who left the game with a left knee injury. The pass was complete to wide receiver Taurus Phillips for the TD. Villanova continued to dominate the 1st quarter, keeping Towson off the board but not adding to their own score either.
Towson stepped up their game in the 2nd quarter, with quarterback Ryan Stover driving the team downfield and personally running the ball into the endzone for 6. Towson kicker Aidan O’Neill Ray Finkle’d the extra point, leaving the score at 6-7. We can only assume that the laces were in, not out. Towson’s defense would continue to dominate the 2nd quarter with two inteceptions, both courtesy of Towson DB Monty Fenner. At halftime, the Tigers were behind by 1 point, with the scoreboard at 6-7 in favor of Villanova. Towson took the lead briefly in the 3rd quarter after a 27yd field goal from Aidan O’Neill. Towson wasn’t able to hold the lead for very long. They would yield quickly to Villanova, who answered with a 46yd field goal courtesy of Wildcats kicker Drew Kresge. The 4th quarter brought no help to the Tigers as Villanova quarterback Jack Schetelich would tack on two more TDs. Schetelich would run for an 8 yd TD shortly after the start of the quarter and then again at the end for an 11yd TD. Villanova would ultimately win the game 24-9. Towson head coach Rob Ambrose stated after the game that the team needed to manage their injuries more carefully and that he would have to work with the quarterbacks to iron out the kinks. Ambrose also addressed the issues with the kickers, stating that there was work to be done and that accuracy was an issue. Towson heads into their bye week with a 2-3 record overall and a record of 0-2 in the CAA. When they return from the break, they will return to Johnny Unitas Stadium to face the Spiders of Richmond.
