RICHMOND, Ky. (AP) Javon Gipson caught a go-ahead touchdown pass late in the fourth quarter, Brandon Perez kicked three field goals, and Kaghen Roach was involved in three sacks to lead Abilene Christian Wildcats past Eastern Kentucky Colonels 17-10 on Saturday.

After Perez kicked his third of the day to tie the game at 10 apiece, Chris Wright strip-sacked Myles Burkett and Roach fell on the ball. Three plays later, Stone Earle found Gipson for a 6-yard, go-ahead strike with 4:08 remaining. Earle hit Jed Castles for a successful two-point conversion.

Gipson led the Wildcats (FCS No. 20, 7-4, 6-1 United Athletic) with 100 yards on six catches. Earle was 23-of-41 passing for 226 yards.

Roach led a six-sack day for the Wildcats defense, netting 2.5 for himself, along with two quarterback hurries.

Burkett was 10 of 20 for 165 yards for the Colonels (4-7, 2-5 UAC). Their offense was held to 165 total yards with just 10 on the ground.

Their scores came from a fumble and a turnover on downs. Brayden Latham's 3-yard rush at the 9:13 mark of the fourth quarter put them ahead before Gipson's touchdown.
