DOVER, Del. (AP) Coleon Williams recovered a fumbled Robert Morris Colonials punt in the end zone, allowing Delaware State Hornets to hold off the Colonials for a 14-9 non-conference win Saturday night.
Defenses were dominant on both sides. Robert Morris was held to just 240 total yards; Delaware State managed just 115.

Jayson Jenkins capped an 11-play, 61-yard Robert Morris drive to end the first half, kicking a 38-yard field goal with :11 left.
Delaware State's Matt Noll kicked a 50-yard punt that the Colonials' Parker Fetterman fumbled with 1:37 left in the third quarter and Williams recovered for the score to give the Hornets a 14-3 lead.
Robert Morris drove 62 yards in 12 plays for a fourth-quarter touchdown run by Anthony Purge that pulled the Colonials within five points, 14-9, but the Hornets were able to run out the clock.
