WEATHERFORD, Okla. – SWOSU entered the fourth quarter with a 14-6 lead Saturday evening, but a last second field goal by Arkansas Tech spoiled Homecoming Night and the Bulldog's chance at their first win of the season.

Defensively,
RJ Powell had a standout night with nine total tackles including two sacks. Both he and
Richard Silva each also had four tackles for loss in the ball game. Â
Â
Offensively, the Dawgs totaled 326 total yards in the game – 217 through the air and 109 on the ground. Quarterback
Tanner Griffin was 17-for-32 including a touchdown pass in the first quarter to
Jacob Karsak. Running Back
Kenny Graham scored the other touchdown on the night, a goal line run in the third quarter.

Graham's rushing touchdown came with 1:39 left in the third quarter and gave SWOSU a 14-6 lead, but that would be the final time the Dawgs would find the end zone.
