NEW YORK (AP) - Quarterback Mike Mucci scored on a 1-yard run with 4:17 remaining as Fordham beat Lafayette 31-28 on Saturday to snap a three-game losing streak.
Mucci was 18-of-33 for 212 yards and a TD for the Rams (3-6, 1-3 Patriot League). The Leopards (2-7, 1-4) overcame a 24-14 fourth-quarter lead, but couldn't end an 11-game road losing streak.

The Rams tied it on Mucci's 14-yard scoring pass to Chris Harris and Javarus Dudley's 6-yard run in the third quarter.
Fordham made it 24-14 on Brian Cosant's 30-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter, and Maurice Briscoe's fumble recovery in the end zone.
