  "account": "The William & Mary Tribe pulled off an incredible upset, stunning first-ranked Villanova in a thrilling season opener. With just seconds left on the clock, the Tribe capitalized on four turnovers by Villanova to secure their first victory of the year. Quarterback Pat McQuaide's eligibility was in question for the entire game, yet he managed to play a pivotal role in the Tribe's victory. The Tribe defense forced four takeaways, while quarterback Winston Watkins contributed over 300 all-purpose yards. The win gives the Tribe a 1-0 record and puts them in a strong position to contend in the Patriot League. For Villanova, the loss marks the worst possible outcome for a conference and season opener.",
