Dartmouth narrowly beats Merrimack 16-14

NORTH ANDOVER, Mass. (AP) — Owen Zalc kicked a 32-yard field goal with seven seconds left to lift Dartmouth to a 16-14 win over Merrimack on Saturday.

Zalc kicked three field goals, including a career-long 50-yarder with just under eight minutes remaining, to get the Big Green (2-0) within one point of the Warriors (1-4).

Jackson Proctor completed 13- and 15-yard passes to kick off Dartmouth’s final drive with three minutes remaining, driving the Big Green to the Merrimack 13 to set up the game-winning kick that was good despite a high snap.

Merrimack had taken a 14-10 lead on their opening drive of the second half with Jermaine Corbett running 11 yards for the score.

Proctor was 14 of 29 for 161 yards passing, including a 75-yard TD to Painter Richards-Baker.

Corbett had 137 yards rushing and two touchdowns on 21 carries for the Warriors.
