Spiders fall to Tribe, 25-23, on last-second touchdown

It was a fitting end to the University of Richmond football's disappointing season.

After overcoming a 19-11 deficit to begin the fourth quarter, the Spiders gave up a touchdown with two seconds remaining to give the College of William and Mary the victory, 25-23.

The loss is Richmond's eighth straight to end its season, a season that began with a three wins that included a victory over FBS-foe Duke University.

Spiders' fullback Kendall Gaskins paced his team's fourth-quarter comeback, finding the end zone twice in the final frame.

William & Mary tailback Jonathan Grimes was the Tribe's main offensive threat, rushing for over 200 yards and and a touchdown.
