DELAND, Fla. (AP) - Tyler Phelps accounted for three touchdowns as Davidson built a seemingly comfortable lead by the middle of the fourth quarter and then held on to beat Stetson 26-20 on Saturday.
Davidson (1-1, 1-0 Pioneer League) put up 20 unanswered points in the second half and piled up a 26-7 lead by the 8:51 mark of the fourth quarter.
But Stetson caught a spark, driving from their own 13 for an Alex Piccirilli touchdown on a 3-yard keeper. The Hatters recovered an onside kick and struck again when Piccirilli found Mason Proch for an 11-yard score. Stetson tried another onside kick, but Davidson recovered it and ran out the final 2:07.

Following the mass cancellation and postponement of weddings last year, the wedding industry was abuzz with the belief that a mania of events was on the horizon. Couples had pushed spring 2020 ceremonies to fall, then early 2021. The notion spread that demand would rise so high this year that weekday weddings would become a temporary norm. Couples rushed to book dates they’d deemed far enough out to be “safe,” to beat the frenzy. But now, on the cusp of what is typically (and was hoped to be again) a busy spring season, the year ahead is looking…different.
