EASTON, Pa. (AP) -Connor Louden booted a pair of field goals as Princeton upset Lafayette 20-14 on Saturday night.

Louden kicked field goals of 25 and 34 yards and R.C. Lagomarsino and Kenny Gunter each scored on short runs for Princeton (1-1), which forced Lafayette to turn the ball over on downs with 4:14 left in the fourth quarter to seal the victory.

Anthony D'Urso rushed for 117 yards and scored on an 89-yard run for previously unbeaten Lafayette (3-1). The Leopards came into the game ranked No. 23 in the Coaches Football Championship Subdivision poll.

Louden's 25-yarder in the first quarter and Kenny Gunter's 2-yard run in the second gave the Tigers a 10-7 lead at halftime. Louden added his second field goal with 9:25 left in the third but Lafayette responded with an 8-yard touchdown pass from Michael DiPaola to Adam Gill with 5:03 left in the third to take a 14-13 lead.

But Lagomarsino plunged in from the 1 to cap a 10-play, 69-yard drive at the end of the third.

Neither team sustained much offense in the fourth, but the Leopards drove from their own 30 to the Princeton 37 before turning the ball over on downs with 4:00 left. Princeton was able to kill the rest of the clock with a 10-play drive.

Bill Foran threw for 190 yards on 18-for-24 passing for Princeton. Lafayette's DiPaola threw for just 95 yards and was picked off once by the Tiger defense.
