SE Louisiana Lions at Nicholls Colonels
· NCAA - Football
Field goal on final play gives Southeastern Louisiana 19-16 win over Nicholls
Callaghan's winning field goal came after a 14-play, 51-yard drive that took nearly five minutes. The drive began after KK Reno's interception.
Nicholls had tied the game on an 84-yard pass from Pat McQuaide to Scrabby Osby early in the fourth quarter though the PAT was wide.
The Lions (7-5, 6-1) are a half-game back of Incarnate Word in the Southern Conference standings with the Cardinals playing East Texas A&M on Saturday. A Cardinals loss would give the Lions a share of the conference title but Incarnate Word gets the automatic berth for the FCS playoffs because of a 34-31 win over the Lions.
Eli Sawyer threw for 157 yards and a touchdown to Darius Lewis for the Lions.
Pat McQuaide threw for 298 yards for the Colonels (4-8, 2-5). McQuaide scrambled 9 yards for Nicholls' other touchdown.
The Lions led 16-10 at halftime.
