ITHACA, N.Y. - A week after winning in dramatic fashion the tables were turned against Frostburg State University this time around. Ithaca mounted two fourth-quarter scoring drives and kicker Andrew Rogowski booted a 34-yard game-winning field goal as time expired to lift the Bombers to a 13-10 win over Frostburg in Empire 8 action.

Box Score

The Bobcats, searching for some late-season momentum after a huge victory over defending Empire 8 champion Alfred last Saturday, scored 10-straight points for a 10-3 lead early in the fourth quarter.

However, the Bombers (4-4, 2-4) scored on their final two drives to steal the win. IC capitalized on good field position on its second-to-last drive as it needed just 41 yards to score the game-tying touchdown. With 1:09 to play, Phil Neumann tossed a four-yard touchdown to Dan Ruffrage to knot the contest at 10-10.

After holding FSU (3-5, 2-3) to a three-and-out, the Bombers took over at their 47 and with two quick completions found themselves at the FSU 18-yard line. After moving the ball to the 17, Rogowski knocked home the game winner.

Most of the action took place in the second half as Ithaca scored the only points of the opening two quarters. Rogowski kicked a 34-yard field goal with 4:53 to play in the opening half for a 3-0 halftime edge.

After posting just 78 yards in the first half, the Frostburg offense put up 212 yards in the second half. Freshman tailback JD Hook capped FSU's 12-play 76-yard scoring drive with an eight-yard scoring run with 9:26 showing in the third quarter. Sophomore kicker Jonathan Adams tacked on a 25-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter that pushed the FSU lead to 10-3.

Frostburg finished the afternoon with 290 yards, including 120 on the ground and held the ball for 29:12. Hook led both teams with 97 yards on 25 carries. Senior quarterback Josh Volpe threw for 170 yards and completed 70.3 percent of his passes (19-of-27). He was held without a touchdown toss for just the second time this season. Junior Anthony Young hauled in six passes for 43 yards.

Ithaca scored just three points in the first half due in large part to the Frostburg defense. The Bobcats forced Ithaca to turn the ball over on downs on the game's first drive and freshman Anthony Chase intercepted a Neumann pass deep in FSU territory on IC's third drive. Ithaca also punted once and missed a 24-yard field goal on its second drive.

Ithaca finished with 309 yards of offense and held a slim 18-16 edge in first downs. Neumann helped the offense overcome just 63 yards on the ground with 246 passing yards on 26-of-42 attempts with one touchdown and one interception. Joseph Ingrao led all receivers with 76 yards on eight receptions. Jarrett Naiden led IC with 52 rushing yards on 13 attempts.

Defensively, senior Drew Rudisill and junior Brendon Blanchette each made a team-high eight tackles. Chase finished with six tackles and an interception.

The Bobcats return to action next Saturday when they host Hartwick on senior day at 1:00 pm.
