In Game Of Inches, Football Falls To Alfred

ALFRED, NY – The Utica College football team took its first loss of the 2021 season on Monday. After Alfred scored a touchdown to break a 10-10 tie, the Pioneer offense battled back valiantly with an impressive 55 yard drive, but a tie score would rest just inches beyond Utica's grasp on this day. On the final play from scrimmage, running back Lamont McGriff (Yonkers, NY/Iona Prep) dove for the goal line looking for the potential tying score, but was ruled to be tackled at the half yard mark as host Alfred held on for a 17-10 win at Yunevich Stadium.
