Quarterback Kyle Lowe accounted for two of the four touchdowns as Southeastern Louisiana defeated Lamar 34-31 on Saturday night in Hammond, La., the Associated Press reported.
Lamar, ranked 10th in the Stats Perform FCS poll, opened the game with a 6-0 lead on field goals by Andres Sandoval. The Lions answered with a 60-yard run by receiver Kyree Paul for a 7-6 lead after the first quarter. Lowe then broke free for a 25-yard touchdown run, extending the lead to 21-6, and added a one-yard plunge in the third quarter to make it 28-13.
Lamar narrowed the gap to 28-20 before the fourth quarter, with a 20-yard touchdown pass from Aiden McCown to Blake Thomas and a successful two‑point conversion. A late 20-yard touchdown pass and conversion brought the Cardinals within three points, but the Lions recovered the onside kick and ran out the clock.
Lowe finished 8 of 13 passing for 81 yards and rushed for 80 yards on 12 carries. McCown threw for 297 yards on 27‑for‑46 attempts, and Thomas recorded seven catches for 109 yards.
Next, Lamar hosts Houston Christian on Saturday, while Southeastern Louisiana travels to Stephen F. Austin.
