Lafayette 24, Princeton 17

Princeton got bitten by the Lafayette Leopards, losing 24-17 on a last second Lafayette TD. Princeton actually scored with 45 seconds in the fourth quarter to tie the score at 17-17. Unfortunately for the Tigers, 45 seconds was a bit too much time to leave on the clock for Lafayette.

Instead of downing the ball and playing for overtime, the Leopards tried to win. Beginning on its own 20-yard line, Lafayette struck gold when third-string QB Marko Glavic found Phil Yarberough streaking down the sidelines for 55 yards. On the Princeton 15, Glavic again connected with Yarberough, this time on a fade pattern in the end zone with just two ticks on the clock.

Princeton led 7-3 at the half, but could not stop Glavic, who began the game on the bench but saw action in relief when starting QB Harry Armstrong went down with an injury. Princeton will try for its first win next week against Lehigh in another non-league game.
