San Antonio - The final SCAC meeting between Trinity and DePauw came down to the wire, and DePauw earned its first-ever win in San Antonio 32-31 on Saturday afternoon.

Trinity (3-4, 1-3 SCAC) scored on a 67-yard interception return by Ben Robinson with 1:19 remaining in the game, seemingly ending DePauw's undefeated season.  DePauw (7-0, 5-0 SCAC) answered right back with a score of its own, though, and then made a surprise move with just 20 seconds left on the clock.

DePauw decided to go for two instead of tying the game with the extra point, and after a Trinity timeout, the visitors were able to escape with the win on a pass from Michael Engle to Nathan Evans.

 DePauw opened the scoring late in the first quarter, but Trinity needed just one play to tie the game, as Nykolas McKissic hit Caleb Urban for a 64-yard touchdown with 1:48 left in the first. 

McKissic finished 14-22 with 228 yards and three touchdowns in the game, hitting Urban twice, and connecting with tight end Markham Stayton as well.

"We came out strong and took some shots downfield," said McKissic after the game.  "That really got things going for us early."

After Trinity's long touchdown, Engle and standout receiver Alex Koors hooked up for the first of three Koors touchdowns on the day.  Koors caught 10 passes for 170 yards, while Engle finished 28-41 for 369 yards and four touchdowns in the game.

Trinity bounced back again with a 22-yard TD pass from McKissic to Stayton, then booted the kickoff high into the air and a strong wind.  Trinity recovered the kick before DePauw could even get a hand on it, and Trinity's offense was in business again.  McKissic hit Urban for the second time just three plays later to make it 21-14 at the half.

Garrett Biel connected for a 33-yard field goal for Trinity in the middle of the third quarter to push the lead to 10 points, but then DePauw began its comeback.  Engle hit Koors for a 30-yard score late in the third, then a field goal from Eric Malm early in the fourth tied the game..

 Neither team managed much after that until the end when DePauw began a drive with just over two minutes remaining.  DePauw drove to the Trinity 38 and looked to be setting itself up for a game-winning field goal.  Robinson stepped in front of Engle's short pass at the 33 yard line, though, and he was off to the races.

On the ensuing DePauw drive, Engle looked unaffected by the interception, picking up two quick first downs and stopping the clock with 26 seconds left at Trinity's 34.  Koors caught his third TD of the game on the next play to set up the gutsy call on the PAT. 

Urban finished with five receptions for 119 yards receiving, as well as picking up 132 yards on four kickoff returns, and 31 yards rushing.  His total of 282 all-purpose yards is the most he's had this season.

DePauw totaled 474 yards on offense, while Trinity had 271 yards of total offense.  Both teams picked up most of their yards through the air, and Trinity was held to just 43 yards rushing in the game.  DePauw also recorded eight sacks on defense.

Trinity's defense forced three turnovers in the game, picking off Engle twice and forcing a fumble.  The other two turnovers - aside from Robinson's score - came in the red zone, ending potential scoring drives by DePauw.

Robinson finished with 11 tackles in the game, while Jarrod Burns led the team with 14 tackles and a fumble recovery. 

Trinity heads back on the road next week, facing off against Huntingdon College.  The Tigers do not return home until November 13, taking on Austin College in the regular season finale.
