Box Score

Hillsdale, Mich. -- The Wayne State University football team (3-3 overall, 3-2 GLIAC) self destructed in Saturday's 35-16 setback at Hillsdale College (3-3 overall, 3-2 GLIAC).

After driving 75 yards on the opening drive of the game culminating in a 49-yard touchdown reception by senior Dominique Maybanks (Muskegon, Mich.), the Warriors literally handed the game to the host Chargers.

The teams combined for four consecutive punts, with the last one by WSU giving HC great field position at the Warrior 44.

On the seventh play, Alex Koski scored his first of two rushing touchdowns giving the hosts a 7-6. WSU senior Stefan Terleckyj (Warren, Mich./Mott) had his streak of 65 consecutive PATs end with his miss following Maybanks' TD.

Two plays later, sophomore quarterback Carl Roscoe (Kentwood, Mich./Kelloggsville) was intercepted in WSU territory.

Hillsdale's Isaac Spence scored on an eight-yard carry on the fourth play following the pick putting the Chargers in front 14-6 with 3:27 remaining in the opening period.

Wayne State started a scoring drive late in the first quarter following a 50-yard punt by Hillsdale. Five straight rushing attempts by senior Toney Davis (Muskegon Hts., Mich./Muskegon) netted 56 yards. Three consecutive runs by junior Desmond Martin (Redford, Mich./Thurston) earned another first down before the drive stalled. Terleckyj extended his school record for field goals made with a 32-yard kick for the only points of the second stanza.

Trailing 14-9 at intermission, WSU forced back-to-back punts on Hillsdale's first two possessions of the third quarter. On a second-and-10, Roscoe was intercepted by Steven Harding, who returned it 28 yards for a score.

The Warriors responded on the ensuing drive with an 11-play, 68-yard drive directed by junior signal caller Doug Griffin (North Branch, Mich.). He carried nine straight plays for 50 yards and finished off the series with a five-yard TD pass to sophomore tight end Ethan Walsh (Canton, Mich./Salem). It was Griffin's first career touchdown pass and Walsh's first career scoring reception. It was WSU's eighth scoring drive of the season of at least 10 plays.

Griffin threw an interception on the next drive, which led to another Koski TD run to cap off a 38-yard drive.

Hillsdale had 119 yards of total offense in the first half and 153 yards through three quarters.

Wayne State turned the ball over on downs on its last two drives.

Davis rushed for a game-high 86 yards, while Spence led HC with 56 yards.
