In a game filled with big plays and plenty of twists and turns, the Northwestern Tigers pounced late in the game to come away with a 30-21 win over Salisbury at Tiger Stadium.

The win moves Northwestern to 4-2 on the season.Salisbury led 14-7 at intermission, but on the opening drive of the second half, Northwestern used 10 plays to move the ball to the Salisbury 7-yard line.From there, quarterback Dylan Snyder ran the ball three times and worked down to the 1-yard line for a fourth-and-goal. Unfortunately for the Tigers, the Salisbury defense swarmed on him when he went for the touchdown and stopped him inside the one, giving the ball back to Salisbury."Dylan told me that he thought he was in on the third-down play and it looked from the sideline like he was in, but they said he was just short," explained coach Josh Snyder.Salisbury (3-3) looked to put together a long drive to put them in a commanding spot, but the Northwestern defense had other ideas. Quarterback Tevon Weber tried a keeper to give the Falcons some room to operate from, but linebacker Dylan Lobach flew in to close the hole, tackling Weber in the end zone for a safety to make it a 14-9 game."The play was wave left, so our D-tackles wave left. He crashed the hole and there was a big hole for me to just run right through and make the tackle. It was all the D-line on that one." said Lobach of the key play. "We were ecstatic and that just turned the game around and then, Brett's kickoff was amazing."Salisbury chose to kick the ball off to Northwestern rather than punt the ball. The kick went to Brett Schillinger at the 14-yard line and the senior wide receiver and defensive back did what he has now done in three of the last four weeks; run hard down the field and into the end zone for an 86-yard touchdown return.Northwestern plays Southern Lehigh (5-1) next week and plays rival Northern Lehigh (4-2) on the final Friday of October."I talked to the team before the game and told them that we're sort of at a crossroads ... If you look at the standings, which I don't normally do, because the end of the year standings are the only ones that matter, but there was a pile-up with 3-2 teams."If you can beat one of those other 3-2 teams, it sort of puts you on the fast track. You control your own destiny, which is nice," said coach Snyder.ALL HAIL HALL: Harry Hall ran the ball 32 times for 191 yards on the night, but his 21st carry of the night was a record setter. Hall ran for 12 yards and a first down, but he reached 141 yards on the night, making him the all-time rusher in the history of Northwestern. Hall surpassed Brett Snyder, the brother of current Tigers coach Josh Snyder, who finished his career with 4,281 rushing yards.ANOTHER MILESTONE: Hall, who scored two touchdowns in the game, is still two shy of Brett Snyder's all-time school mark of 51. The first of Hall's touchdowns came on a 72-yard run from scrimmage.SHAKE IT OFF: Dylan Snyder missed a couple days of practice this week with a sore shoulder and his coach admitted after the game that he was hesitant to have him throw early in the game. The senior play-caller told the coach to "let it rip," allowing the offense to open up in the second-half. Snyder threw for 153 yards in the game, including a 78-yard touchdown pass to Dylan Lobach.
