One quarter remains

UMass 22, Colgate 13

After a turnover-laden third quarter, the Minutemen lead the Tigers, 22-13.

In a quarter inundated with penalties, interceptions and fumbles -- not much happened as the Minutemen maintained their nine-point cushion. Both teams connected on field goals for the only scores of the quarter.

UMass QB Liam Coen turned the ball over on consecutive drives, but the Tigers failed to take full advantage. Coen injured his knee on the latter turnover, and backup Scott Woodward came in for one series. His only pass was completed to WR Michael Omar -- who fumbled on the reception for the third-straight UM turnover.

A three-and-out followed for Towson, and punter Bill Shears mishandled the longsnap and was tackled by David Burris and Darnel DeLaire -- setting up a field goal for UMass to bring the lead back up to nine.

The Tigers are currently driving as the third quarter comes to a close. They have a first-and-10 at the UMass 29.

Check back for the final score immediately after the final whistle.
