KALAMAZOO, Mich. - Kalamazoo College scored a touchdown in the waning seconds for a 30-26 victory over Albion College Saturday afternoon.

Kalamazoo went 80 yards on 13 plays in just 1:52 and Conner Bell capped off the drive with a one-yard rush with just 17 seconds remaining.

Down 7-0 with just under seven minutes to play in the opening stanza, Bell registered a 74-yard touchdown run, cutting the deficit to 7-6. 

Albion scored nine straight points for a 16-6 edge with under four minutes to go in the first half, but Kalamazoo sliced the deficit to a one-score game with 12 seconds to go when Cameron Lewis blasted a 30-yard field goal, making it 16-9 at the break. That completed a 17-play, 62-yard drive that took 3:37 off the clock. 

The Hornets' defense scooped up a fumble at the Albion 30-yard line with 3:34 to play in the third stanza. Dawson Skupin promptly hit Jaden Johnson for a 17-yard gain to the 13-yard line. On the ensuing play, Lucas Hanifan was the recipient of the Skupin pass for the 13-yard touchdown. The extra point knotted the score at 16-16.

Kalamazoo's defense stood tall on the next possession and on fourth-and-one at the 50-yard line, the home team stuffed the run. 

Skupin rocketed a pass to Aaron Zekman on the ensuing play for a 50-yard touchdown en route to a 23-16 lead.
