PRINCETON, N.J. -- A 33-yard field goal by
Georgetown's Matt MacZura with 14 seconds
remaining capped a game-winning 72-yard drive for the Hoyas, who
punctuated Princeton's 2012 home opener with a heart-breaking 21-20
loss for the home team.
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 22
Fordham 20, Columbia 13
NEW YORK -- Marcorus Garrett
piled up more than 100 yards rushing for the second straight game
and Columbia came within a hair of tying the game in the final two
minutes but fell short to Fordham, 20-13, in a Liberty Cup clash at
Robert K. Kraft Field at Lawrence A. Wien Stadium.
Cornell 45, Yale 6
ITHACA, N.Y. -- Freshman Luke
Hagy rushed for two touchdowns and junior Jeff
Mathews threw for four more scores to lead the Big Red

Field.
Dartmouth 13, Holy Cross

WORCESTER, Mass. -- Sophomore Riley
Lyons calmly drilled a 31-yard field goal with one second
to play, lifting the visiting Dartmouth Big Green to a 13-10

on Saturday afternoon. Dartmouth (2-0) ended a four-game slide at
the venue to win its fifth straight game dating back to last year,
its longest win streak in 15 years.
Villanova 24, Penn 8
PHILADELPHIA -- Penn was able to solve its
turnover issues in week 2 of the 2012 season, but was unable to
solve Villanova's defense in a 24-8 loss in the home-opener at
Franklin Field.
Harvard 45, Brown 31
PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- For the second consecutive
week, senior running back Treavor
Scales carried the No. 24 Harvard football team to a
