WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – After a frustrating opening half, the Lycoming College football team scored on four of its five drives in the second half, overwhelming Albright College and posting a 28-7 come-from-behind win for its first over Albright since 2014 on a brisk Saturday, Oct. 23, at David Person Field.
 
The Warriors (5-2 overall, 4-1 MAC) were limited to just 8:40 seconds of possession in the first half, with its first five drives accumulating just 63 yards, yielding three punts and a fumble. The Warrior defense, meanwhile, played well to allow only seven points, as just one of the Lions' drives ended in the red zone.
 
There was a drastic change in demeanor from the Lycoming offense as the second half started. The run game began to roll. Junior Kyle Powell (Philadelphia, Pa./Lincoln) rolled off an eight-yard run, then senior quarterback Elijah Shemory (Jersey Shore, Pa./Jersey Shore Area) rolled for 23 yards. Lycoming had just one play in the eight-yard drive that netted negative yards before Shemory rolled in from 10 yards out to tie the game at 7-7 with 11:51 left in the quarter.
 
The Warriors took the lead after getting the ball at their own 21 with 5:01 left in the half. The Warriors used their run game to get the ball to midfield before a couple passes and one more rush moved it to the 31, where Shemory found junior Aaron Wolcott (Woodbine, Md./Century) in the flat and Wolcott rolled 31 yards for the score.

Lycoming kept it rolling in the fourth quarter. A sack by juniors Cole Senior (Middletown, Pa./Middletown Area) and David Tomb (Jersey Shore, Pa./Jersey Shore) forced the Lions to punt from their own seven, and an 18-yard punt return from junior Joey Guida (Allentown, Pa./Parkland) put the ball at the 29 to start the drive. Guida rushed four times to get it to the three, where Shemory crashed in.
 
Lycoming got an interception from junior Austin Rowley (Schwenksville, Pa./Perkiomen Valley) at the Albright 35 two plays into the ensuing drive. Ten plays later, Shemory found Wolcott on screen and Wolcott leaped into the end zone to make it 28-7 with 6:54 left.
 
Shemory finished with 13 rushes for 90 yards and two scores and he finished 12-of-20 for 137 yards passing and two scores. Guida rushed nine times for 70 yards and Powell rushed 15 times for 48 yards, as Lycoming rushed 40 times for 233 yards in the game.
 
Wolcott caught three passes for 50 yards and two touchdowns and senior Tyjah During (Accokeek, Md./Surrattsville) had three catches for 39 yards.
 
The Lions were led by running back Isaiah Shockley, who rushed 21 times for 87 yards. Todd Shelley finished 16-of-30 for 167 yards, a touchdown and an interception. Lucas Roselli caught six passes for 63 yards and a score.
 
Sophomore Hunter Campbell (Enola, Pa./East Pennsboro) led the Warriors with 10 tackles, two for loss, Senior added eight tackles, three for loss and a half sack and Tomb posted six tackles, 3.5 for loss, half a sack and a forced fumble. Sophomore Kevin Gianoni (Quakertown, Pa./Lansdale Catholic) posted six stops and a breakup and Rowley had five tackles and an interception.
