Football Falls to King's, 27-21

WILKES-BARRE, Pa. – The FDU-Florham football team dropped its third straight game to begin the 2025 season Saturday afternoon as the Devils fell to MAC foe King's 27-21 on the road. 

DEVILS HIGHLIGHTS
  • Junior quarterback Jake Sconza went 21-for-36 in pass attempts, throwing for 288 yards and two touchdowns. 
  • Senior running back Kwanir Edwards rushed for 72 total yards and one touchdown. 
  • Andreike Terry Jr. led the Devils in receptions (six) and yards (128) catching Sconza's 70-yard touchdown pass.
  • Jamir Daniels caught Sconza's other touchdown pass as Daniels tallied 72 total receiving yards.
  • Matt Heineman tallied 13 total tackles on the day with one sack. 
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • King's wasted no time Saturday as the Monarchs scored first on a 54-yard pass from Jaelin Mims to Jayon Hailey with 11:53 left in the first quarter. 
  • In the second quarter, FDU fell behind 14-0 after a three-play drive led to the Monarchs second score of the game. 
  • FDU answered just before halftime as the Devils used a drive just over 4:00 long to cut the King's lead in half. Beginning at their own 36-yard line, Sconza and Edwards led the offense down field. A 16-yard Joe Marcello catch and back-to-back 11 and 15-yard rushes from Edwards highlighted the drive with Edwards scoring on the 15-yarder to make it a one-score game, 14-7, headed to the break. 
  • The third quarter went scoreless for much of its first half, but a 64-yard rushing touchdown from King's Brennan Robinson put the Monarchs up 21-7. Following the touchdown, FDU's final drive of the quarter began promising for the Devils but ended with a fumble recovered by King's as the Monarchs took over at their own 27-yard line.
  • Just like the opening quarter, the Monarchs wasted no time in the fourth as King's continued its drive and scored just six seconds into the final quarter to take a 27-7 advantage. 
  • FDU answered immediately as Terry Jr. scored on a 70-yard pass from Sconza to cut the deficit to 27-14. Then, an FDU drive that lasted 5:39 led to the Devils third score of the game to make it a 27-21 game with 4:49 left in regulation. 
  • After the 2:00, the Devils began their final drive of the game with 1:56 left. Three Sconza passes put FDU in King's territory, but it was an FDU fumble recovered by the Monarchs that cut short FDU's potential game-winning drive. 
GAME NOTES
  • Sconza's 70-yard touchdown pass is the third longest in the MAC this season. 
  • Edwards is now 420 yards away from 3000-career rushing yards. 
  • Heineman is second in the MAC with 2.5 sacks on the year.
