BETHANY, W. Va. – Eisenhower alum Owen Trumbull threw a touchdown pass and Reynolds graduate Dreyvin Livingston kicked what proved to be the game-winning extra point as Thiel snapped its 41-game losing streak, with a 27-26 win over Bethany.
The 41-game skid was the longest current streak in college football at any level and their first victory since 2017, a 28-13 win over Bethany.
Jordan Collier tied the game on an 11-yard touchdown run with 6:18 to play in the fourth quarter, and Livingston’s extra point proved to be the game-winner.
Trumbull finished 8-of-12 for 111 yards and a touchdown in the win, while fellow D10 alum Jordan Volpe (Sharon) had six tackles (1 for loss) and Reynolds graduate Luke Faber had four tackles, including one for loss.
