PINE BLUFF, Arkansas - Alabama A&M's defense turned back Arkansas-Pine Bluff at virtually every turn, while its offense scored just enough to help the Bulldogs eke out their second win in as many games Saturday night.Brawnski Towns' defensive unit held the Golden Lions to three points despite five trips inside their 16-yard line and Kaderius Lacey scored a pair of touchdowns as A&M hung on for a 14-10 victory before an announced crowd of 9,500 at Golden Lions Stadium in the Southwestern Athletic Conference opener for both teams.
"Our defense played huge and kept them out of the end zone time after time after time," A&M coach Anthony Jones said. "We had some success on offense when we needed to and then was able to run out the clock at the end. It was a great team win for us."
A&M improved to 2-0 for the first since 2009. The Bulldogs are 1-0 in league play. UAPB fell to 1-1 and 0-1.
Things didn't look good for A&M early on. The Golden Lions got on the board first on their first possession of the game when C.J. Branch scored on a 1-yard run and Tyler Strickland kicked the extra point to give UAPB a 7-0 lead less than six minutes into the game.
