READING, Pa. – Albright Football (1-2, 0-2 MAC) returned home after two straight road games to start the year for a match against Delaware Valley (2-1, 2-0 MAC).

Following Poindexter's second touchdown, the Lions needed a defensive stop to get the ball back in the final minutes. Mark Fetterman's group would force a three and out which included a momentum swinging tackle for a loss from Jamall Charles and Jamaree Roberts. 
 
The Lions' final drive would start at their own 28 and began with back-to-back first down rushes from Boston leading to the two-minute timeout. Logan Rothberg hauled in a clutch 22-yard reception on a third and nine with just over a minute to go.
 
The game would come down to a 4^th down in the redzone with the Lions in need of two yards in the final thirty seconds. The Aggies would then breakup a pass intended for Stickler in the endzone to seal the game. 

Jemelle Brown Jr. led the defense with six total tackles and was followed by Samuel Moratori, Darien Osmun and Daunte Morrison who each had five. Robinson led with two pass breakups from his linebacker position while Ian Adams matched Robinson with two pass breakups of his own.
