Martin leads Robert Morris past Long Island U 28-17
MOON TOWNSHIP, Pa. (AP) George Martin threw two touchdown passes and ran for a score and Robert Morris rallied to beat Long Island University 28-17 on Saturday.
Robert Morris (5-4, 4-0 Northeast Conference) took the opening kickoff and marched 65 yards in eight plays with Alijah Jackson capping the drive with a 12-yard touchdown run. Long Island (0-8, 0-7) answered with Briant DeFelice's 34-yard field goal, but Martin directed a 10-play, 73-yard drive and finished it off with a 31-yard TD strike to Matthew Gonzalez to put the Colonials up 14-3 after one quarter.
The second quarter was all Sharks. Jacob Cheshire ran it in from 1 yard out midway through the period and Malcolm Denbow later added an 8-yard TD run to put Long Island up 17-14 at halftime.
Robert Morris reclaimed the lead for good when Martin scored on a 12-yard run with 6:32 left in the third quarter. The score was set up by a 58-yard run from Jackson.
Martin added a 24-yard scoring strike to Garrett Houser in the fourth quarter.
The Sharks punted three times and had three drives end with interceptions in the second half.
