Trinity Comes From Behind to Top Colby Football, Remains Undefeated

On Saturday, Colby played host to an undefeated Trinity College team. The Bantams lead the league in scoring offense as well as scoring defense, and the Mules were gearing for one of the largest upsets in team history.

Jumping out to a first-half lead of 12-0, the Mules displayed efficiency on offense as well as drive-stopping plays on defense. First-year Keon Smart scored on rushes of 12 and 2-yds, and Colby reached 100 yards on the ground for the first time this year.

Behind NESCAC Player of the Week Spencer Fetter (27-33 320yds, 4tds), Trinity stormed back in the second half with five scores. The Bantams totaled almost 500 yards of offense and remains in a three-way tie atop the NESCAC standings.
