Late turnovers, missed PATs costly in ASU’s 13-12 loss to Elizabeth City

ELIZABETH CITY, North Carolina — The lack of an adequate kicking game proved costly to Albany State Saturday night as the Golden Rams dropped a 13-12 decision to Elizabeth City State (N.C.).

Ultimately the game was decided by field goals and point-after conversion kicks. The Vikings (1-2) made them. Albany State (1-2) didn’t.

ECSU’s Brett Symonds, who missed a 32-yard field goal in the first half, drilled field goals of 44 and 29 yards in the second and third quarters as the Vikings rallied to a 6-6 tie, then banged home the all-important PAT to culminate a 95-yard drive that produced the winning touchdown on a 5-yard run by Daront’e McNeill with 8:39 left to play.

Meanwhile, Zachary Holley missed on both of his point-after attempts for the Rams, who dipped below .500 for the first time in five seasons.
