PIKEVILLE, Ky. – Junior quarterback Trevor Hoskins hit senior Axxel Rivas from 21 yards out with 53.3 seconds remaining to give the University of Pikeville a 24-17 win over Kentucky Wesleyan College Saturday night.
The score was Hoskins' third of the night – the second to Rivas – and was his 32nd career scoring pass, which set a new school record for touchdown passes for the university.
The win made UPike 2-0 on the season and was its fourth straight after an 0-8 start a year ago. Wesleyan fell to 0-2 on the season.
Hoskins finished 19-of-34 for 238 yards along with his three scores. He did throw three interceptions in the win.
Rivas finished with 85 yards and two scores on six catches.
The Panthers got on the scoreboard first with the costliest of Hoskins' picks, as sophomore Jeff Ward hauled one in at the five and rambled 95 yards for the touchdown. Matt Wilson's PAT made it 7-0, the only first-period touchdown, with 8:14 left.
Hoskins evened the count with the only second-quarter score, a 34-yard pass to senior Chris Joseph, with 7:46 left in the half. Freshman Grayson Quick's PAT tied it at 7-7.
The turning point in the game came in the final minute of first half when the Panthers got the ball first-and-goal on the four-yard line. Thanks to a penalty, they got seven tries to score, with the final three coming from the one-yard line but were turned away to keep the game tied at the half.
Wilson gave the Panthers a 10-7 lead with 7:15 left in the third on a 38-yard field goal, but the Bears responded with the first of Rivas' scoring catches, this one from 22 yards out to make it 14-10 with 3:17 left in the third.
Kentucky Wesleyan wasn't finished and regained the lead when senior Chris Owen found junior Shawn Mooney on a three-yard scoring play, ending an eight-play, 65-yard drive that took 5:29 off the clock. Wilson's extra-point made it 17-14 with 9:55 left.
But the Bears posted the final 10 points of the night. The first three came on a 20-yard field goal by Quick to tie the score with 4:00 to play, followed by the game-winner, which ended an 83-yard play that took six plays but only 1:24 off the clock.
Owen, the Panther quarterback, was 14-of-31 for 150 with the score and no interceptions. He hit Mooney six times for 68 and the score.
Freshman John Dudley Hilton was the leading tackler for the second straight week for the Bears, finishing with eight tackles, all but one solos, a recovering a fumble. Senior Marc Sweet had six tackles, including one for loss and recovered a fumble.
Kentucky Wesleyan was led by senior linebacker Ken Stoklosa's eight tackles. The all-conference selection had one tackle for loss and recovered a fumble.
Ward had six tackles and recovered a fumble in addition to his interception for a score.
Pikeville will be back in action next Saturday when it hits the road for the first time, heading to Rome, Ga., to take on 1-0 Shorter College. Kentucky Wesleyan will play its first home game next Saturday when Sienna Heights travels to Owensboro. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m.
