Kyle Lowe guides SE Louisiana past UL Monroe 38-35 for 1st win over FBS team since 2003
On Saturday, Southeast Louisiana, represented by the Lions, secured a 38-35 win against UL Monroe, marking their first victory over an FBS team since reinstating their football program in 2003. Kyle Lowe played a pivotal role in this triumph, completing 18 of 25 passes for 155 yards, while connecting with two key players for touchdowns.
The Lions' first quarter saw a 31-yard TD pass to Lonnie Shinn and a 3-yard score to Tristan Goodly, putting them ahead 24-13 at halftime. The third quarter witnessed Dkhai Joseph return a punt for a touchdown, extending the lead to 31-13. In the fourth quarter, Richard McKneely added an 11-yard scoring return on an interception, widening the margin to 18 points.
Derrick Jameson contributed with two touchdown runs, while the Lions' backup, Aidan Armenta, sealed the victory with a crucial interception return of his own. The Lions' sophomore quarterback, Carlisle, threw for 183 yards on 19-for-24 passing and completed two touchdowns, but a fumble loss and two interceptions led to the Warhawks' comeback attempt, which fell short with 3:03 remaining in the game. SE Louisiana will face Western Illinois next Saturday, while UL Monroe heads to Northwestern State.
