Central Michigan ends 5-game losing streak, beats rival Western Michigan 16-14

MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. -- , B.J. Harris ran for a touchdown and Tristan Mattson kicked three field goals and Central Michigan defeated rival Western Michigan 16-14 on Thursday night to capture the Victory Cannon Trophy. The injury-plagued Chippewas (4-7, 2-5 Mid-American Conference) ended a five-game losing streak this season and a six-game home losing streak to the Broncos (5-6, 4-3). Central Michigan held the Broncos to 10 first downs, 2-of-12 success on third downs and 184 yards while controlling the ball for over 36 minutes. Fourth-string quarterback Jadyn Glasser hit Solomon Davis for 55 yards to set up a 6-yard scoring run by Harris for a 7-0 in the first quarter. That 70-yard drive took three plays but an 11-play, 74-yard drive in the second quarter led to a late 36-yard field goal. Then the Broncos gave up the ball on downs and Mattson hit from 47-yards as time expired.
