CatawbaCarson-NewmanTusculumMars HillNewberry. But the Wolves more than proved themselves on Saturday night and most certainly made the home crowd very nervous. Citadel was clinging to an uncomfortable 14-7 lead until the final minute of the third quarter when they finally got the play they needed to distance themselves. Another fourth quarter score put the game out of reach, but the Wolves hung around for most of the night and a 17 point loss to a powerful FCS program is actually quite impressive. The Wolves did have a couple of turnovers that Todd Knight will be displeased with, but only two penalties, making it a pretty clean performance overall.
