Frostburg, Md. – Junior Bryan Brosnan (Leesburg, Va./Heritage) tossed a pair of touchdown passes late in the second quarter to guide Frostburg State to a 20-7 victory over Apprentice in Atlantic Central Football Conference action, Saturday at a cold and cloudy Bobcat Stadium.

The victory hands FSU (3-5, 1-1) its first ACFC win since the Bobcats defeated Buffalo State 27-26 in 2005. The Builders fall to 1-7 and 0-3 in the league with their sixth-straight loss.

After a missed field goal on its first drive and two punts on its next two possessions, Frostburg State got its offense going late in the second quarter.

With a little over five minutes left in the half, senior fullback Donnie Snyder (Harrisburg, Pa./Central Dauphin) recovered a fumbled punt return at midfield and Frostburg State needed just five plays to find the endzone for a 7-0 lead.

Brosnan hooked up with junior wideout Avery Willie (Aberdeen, Md./Aberdeen) for a 40-yard touchdown strike as FSU took advantage of its best starting field position of the opening half.

After a three and out for the Builders, the Bobcats started at their own 38 yardline and need just four plays to score its second touchdown in as many series.

Sophomore running back Anthony King (Germantown, Md./Northwest) rushed for 11 yards on the first play and Brosnan connected with senior tight end Ben Tate (Camp Springs, Md./Crossland) for 34 yards down to the Builder 17. Two plays later, Brosnan lofted a pass into the corner of the endzone and junior Makiha Cooper (Baltimore, Md./Forest Park) came up with his sixth score of the season as the Bobcats moved ahead 14-0.

Junior kicker Matt Winnegar (Frostburg, Md./Beall) booted a pair of field goals in the third quarter and the Builders cracked onto the scoreboard early in the fourth to cap the scoring.

FSU led in total yards 355-294 and the Bobcat defense held the Apprentice rushing attack to just 74 yards on 25 carries and forced four turnovers.

Winnegar’s first field goal came with 5:45 left in the third quarter from 18 yards and he followed it with his second with only 25 seconds remaining in the quarter from 34 yards.

On the defensive side of the ball junior Chindy Agugua (Gaithersburg, MD/Watkins Mill) and freshman Kevin Harris (Joppatowne, Md./Joppatowne) led the way with seven tackles a piece. Senior Mike Lorentzen (Leonardtown, Md./Leonardtown) had a great day on senior day as he contributed four tackles, 0.5 sacks, 1.5 tackles for loss and a quarterback hurry.

Frostbrug State returns to action when it travels to Nay-Marine Corp. Memorial Stadium in Annapolis, Md. for a 7:00 pm Regents Cup matchup with ACFC member Salisbury.
