The Red Devils (3-5, 3-4) trailed 15-7 at the half and after a scoreless third quarter but rallied to make the game interesting at the end thanks to a defense that haled Muhlenberg (6-2, 5-2) to 12 total yards in the fourth quarter.
Â
Taking over at the Mule 48 with 8:45 to play, Dickinson scored its second touchdown on a fourth-down pass of 2 yards with 4:16 left to play. The pass was completed near the sideline on the potential game-tying two-point conversion attempt, but freshman
Luke Wiley tackled the receiver a yard short of the end zone to preserve the two-point lead.

The Red Devils kicked deep and got the ball back at their own 48 with 2:41 to play. On fourth-and-5, they completed a pass over the middle, but sophomore
George DiFiore made the tackle immediately, a half-yard short of the first down.
Â
Muhlenberg ran all but 2 seconds of the rest of the time off the clock, and Dickinson's last-second pass from its own 20 gained only 16 yards.
Â
Fosbenner, who came into the game with only one made field goal on the season, connected from 48, 35 and 32 yards in the first 20 minutes of the game to stake the Mules to a 9-0 lead.

Dickinson scored the first touchdown of the game on a 29-yard pass with 1:07 left in the half. Muhlenberg needed only two plays to answer: a 59-yard kickoff return by junior

Nick Lamb. The extra point was wide right, however, leaving it a one-possession game.
