HIRAM, Ohio -- Kenyon made an impressive second-half comeback for the third week in a row, overcoming a 17-7 deficit with four second-half touchdowns to hand Hiram College (1-6, 1-5 NCAC) a 34-31 defeat. The Owls outscored Hiram 20-0 in the third quarter before capping the win with a fourth-quarter comeback to improve to 3-4 overall and 2-3 in the North Coast Athletic Conference contest.
Down 17-7 at halftime, Kenyon turned things around in the third quarter with three unanswered touchdowns. The Terriers responded with a pair of early fourth-quarter touchdowns. No stranger to making impressive fourth-quarter comebacks in recent weeks, senior quarterback Ryan O’Leary opened the ensuing drive with a 20-yard rush that set the tone for a seven-play, 75-yard drive. O’Leary finished the campaign with a 14-yard touchdown pass, his fourth of the game, finding senior Finn Murray to reclaim the lead, 34-31, with 6 minutes left.
