Western Carolina wins game against Wofford without spectators due to rescue and recovery efforts

CULLOWHEE, N.C. -- , Jalynn Williams had two short touchdown runs, CJ Williams broke up a fourth-down pass with 45 seconds remaining and Western Carolina held off Wofford 21-17 on Saturday without spectators due to rescue and recovery efforts around the western North Carolina region. WCU elected to attempt a 53-yard field goal on fourth-and-14 with 1:36 remaining but Paxton Robertson narrowly missed it to the right, setting up Wofford at its 36-yard line for a potential game-winning drive. Pauly Seeley V ran for a 15-yard gain on first down and then completed a 3-yard pass to Dylan Djet. Seeley overthrew a wide-open receiver on third down and then tried to squeeze a pass to Rickie Shaw II over the middle that Williams batted to the ground in the closing seconds. Western Carolina (2-3, 1-0 Southern Conference) has won four straight in the series.
