The Wolves football team fell in their homecoming game on Oct. 22 against Humboldt State, 37-42. Most of these points were scored in an explosive second half.<\/p>\n
Quarterback Phillip Fenumiai threw the 68-yard opening score to wideout Paul Revis. The Wolves then tried to carry that momentum into a two-point conversion to open with an eight point lead. This was stopped and after Humboldt scored in the second quarter they took the lead, 6-7.<\/p>\n
The teams felt one another out in a defensive slugfest. Western had the advantage going into the half after Revis blocked a Humboldt punt to set the team up for a 27-yard Jacob Bannister field goal.<\/p>\n
The 9-7 first half gave no indication to how high scoring the second half would become.<\/p>\n
The third quarter saw Fenumiai break out on a 73 yard touchdown run, but was ultimately dominated by Humboldt State. The Lumberjacks put up 5 touchdowns in 15 minutes to surge to a 16-42 lead. Turnovers and effective plays kept the ball in Humboldt\u2019s control and kept them visiting the endzone.<\/p>\n
Despite the long odds, the Wolves were not yet out and mounted a fourth quarter comeback. Fenumiai completed 11 of his 22 total completions in the fourth as Western fought to pick up three touchdowns. Trailing 37-42 the team onside kicked but couldn\u2019t get a hold of the ball as the comeback
\nThe Wolves fall to 3-5 on the season with two games left to play.<\/p>\n
