Saunier scores twice and Dartmouth rallies for 20-16 win over Central Connecticut to remain unbeaten
HANOVER, N.H. -- — Grayson Saunier scored twice on short runs including the go-ahead score in the fourth quarter and undefeated Dartmouth held on for a 20-16 win over Central Connecticut on Saturday.
Saunier went in from a yard out to give the Big Green (5-0) the lead after a nine-play drive that started at the Blue Devils' 32 following Sean Williams' 26-yard punt return plus a facemask penalty.
The Blue Devils (3-4) took the ensuing kickoff with a little over five minutes left and had a first-and-goal at the 9 but picked up just 3 yards rushing followed by three incompletions.
CCSU had taken a 16-13 lead early in the fourth quarter on Jadon Turner's 13-yard run but the PAT failed.
Saunier passed for 177 yards and ran for 42 more for Dartmouth, ranked No. 24 in the FCS coaches poll. Owen Zalc kicked a pair of field goals.
Brady Olson threw for 168 yards including a TD to Isaac Boston for CCSU.
