Murray Kicks 40-Yard FG, Howard Has Game-Sealing Interception as UL Monroe Edges Arkansas State
Abram Murray’s 40-yard kick and Gavin Howard’s interception sealed ULM’s second straight win over Arkansas State.
On Saturday, The Warhawks defeated Arkansas State 19-17 after Abram Murray kicked a 40-yard field goal with 1:49 remaining. Gavin Howard secured the victory with a game-sealing interception in the final minute.
The Warhawks improved to 2-7 in the Sun Belt Conference with their second consecutive win against Arkansas State, now 4-5. This followed last season's 28-16 ULM victory in Monroe, breaking Arkansas State's 15-game winning streak.
Austin Carlisle led The Warhawks ground attack with 111 rushing yards on 19 carries, while Don Chaney added 68 on 12 carries. Carlisle also completed all four of his passing attempts for 31 yards.
Arkansas State quarterback Trey Owens threw for 193 yards and a touchdown on 16-of-29 passing, connecting with Jaylen Bonelli on three passes for 66 yards. The performance was not enough to overcome The Warhawks' late-game execution.
ULM faces Louisiana-Lafayette on Thursday, seeking to extend their winning momentum. Arkansas State travels to Coastal Carolina next Saturday for their next conference matchup.
