NEW YORK -- — Darius Perrantes threw for 248 yards and a touchdown and Edward Robinson ran for two scores and Duquesne held off Wagner 34-26 on Saturday.

Wagner (3-6, 3-3) reduced the deficit to 28-26 with 1:51 remaining when Krajewski helped lead a 14-play, 83-yard drive that ended with a 9-yard scoring pass to Chase Stafford. The two-point conversion failed.
Duquesne built a 14-0 lead before the Seahawks scored three touchdowns starting just before halftime and lasting until 3:51 left in the third quarter. The Dukes regained the lead with a pair of touchdowns in the fourth to secure the win.
Robinson's 11-yard scoring run with 13 minutes remaining ended a 12-play, 75-yard drive that put Duquesne up for good 21-20. On Wagner's ensuing drive, Khatavian Franks intercepted Krajewski and ran it back 30 yards for a 28-20 advantage.
