WISE - - Trent Martin booted an 18-yard field goal on the final play of Senior Day 2014 to send UVa-Wise's nine seniors out victorious, 24-21, over Fairmont State on Saturday.  Martin's game-winning field goal was aided by a 31-yard run by Carlton Griffith on the drive and a nine-catch 142-yard three-touchdown day by junior wide receiver Terrence Younger. Sophomore linebacker Zack Blair highlighted his season with three stops behind the line of scrimmage to put him at 26.5 for the year, tying the single-season school record.

Fairmont State (3-7, 3-7 MEC) scored the first touchdown of the game as the Falcons took the opening kick and marched 59 yards on nine plays. Senior tailback Daniel Monore finished off the drive with a six-yard touchdown scamper. John Dearstine made the point after to put Fairmont State in front 7-0.

UVa-Wise (2-9, 1-8 MEC) responded as Jeremy Eubank found Younger on a 22-yard touchdown connection with 7:36 to play in the first quarter. Martin's extra point tied the game at 7-7.

The score would remain tied until late in the first half when Monroe scored his second touchdown of the day, this time from one-yard out. Dearstine added the extra point to give the Falcons a 14-7 halftime lead.

Younger's second touchdown reception of the day and subsequent kick from Martin tied the game with 10:59 to play in the third quarter. The score was a 19-yard pass from Eubank that ended a 10-play 77-yard drive.

Tied at 14, Falcons' quarterback Cody Stevenson found Fabian Guerra with a 16-yard touchdown pass with 8:09 to go in the quarter to regain the lead for the visitors. Dearstine's point after would put Fairmont State in front 21-14.

UVa-Wise would trail until 2:43 to go in the game. A five-play 58-yard scoring drive ended on yet another Eubank-to-Younger connection. A 13-yard strike that allowed the Cavs to tie the game following Martin's PAT.

After the UVa-Wise defense held Fairmont State, coach Dewey Lusk's squad got the ball back with 1:40 on the clock, with two timeouts, and 73 yards of Carl Smith Stadium turf separating them from the end zone.

Griffith would put the Cavs in position to win by breaking numerous tackles on a 31-yard run to put the ball inside the five yard line. The run set Martin up for his game-winning field goal.

The game marked the second year in a row the Fairmont State – UVa-Wise game came down to the final moments. The Falcons won the inaugural battle 44-40 in Fairmont last season.

Eubank finished the contest with 265 passing yards to go along with this three touchdowns. The 142 receiving yards by Younger were a career-high.

Blair finished the day with eight stops and a forced fumble, including his three stops behind the line of scrimmage. The sophomore linebacker finished his campaign with 95 total stops.
