BUZZARDS BAY, Mass. – Maine Maritime Academy capitalized on two of Massachusetts Maritime Academy’s five turnovers Saturday afternoon while earning a 20-18 New England Football Conference victory and claiming the Admiral’s Cup in the 35th meeting between the two programs.

Brandon Goodrich scored the second of his two touchdowns midway through the fourth quarter to give Maine Maritime Academy (4-2) the victory. Goodrich, who also had a 6-yard scoring run in the second quarter, finished with 159 rushing yards.

Chris Tracy put Maine Maritime on the board with a 25-yard interception return for a score in the second quarter. Goodrich later added his first TD and Chris Cunningham made the second of two PAT kicks, to make it 14-0.

The Buccaneers trimmed the deficit in half on Joe DeFrank’s 11-yard, third-quarter scoring pass to Colin Teehan. A 39-yard touchdown throw from DeFrank to Keith Rudolph in the fourth quarter got Mass. Maritime within a point, then Jake Bickley hit a short field goal to give the Bucs the lead with 10:41 remaining.

The Mariners went back in front on Goodrich’s run, but Maine Maritime fumbled the conversion rush and Mass. Maritime’s Kevin McCarthy took it all the way back for two points.

The hosts would get no closer.
