Moon Township, Pa. – The Edinboro football team used a fourth quarter safety and dominated time of possession as they defeated FCS Robert Morris 23-21 on Saturday night.
With the score tied 21-21 early in the fourth quarter, punter Reed Martin did what he has done so many times before and flipped filed position with a 74-yard punt that was downed inside the one-yard line by Angelo Bartolini and Logan Brooks. A holding call on the Colonials moved the ball even closer to the goal line. Tristian Waldier jarred the ball loose from Anthony Chiccitt and the ball went out the back of the endzone for a safety and a 23-21 lead.
After the Scots got the ball back, they took almost four minutes off the clock before turning the ball over on downs at the Colonial 37-yard line. Robert Morris took over and drove the ball to the Edinboro 29, but Zach Malpica and Tristian Waldier teamed up to stop Delvecchio Powell II in for a one-yard loss on fourth and one to give the ball back to the Scots.
