The Engineers trailed by four points with 16 seconds left and Napier drilled the kick to lift WPI to a 22-21 victory. Coach Chris Robertson expressed pride in Napier's performance and noted the national attention the win received. Napier was named NEWMAC Special Teams Athlete of the Week and a Fred Mitchell Award Kicker of the Week. WPI, which struggled with a 2-8 record last year, is looking to build on this win as they enter the 2026 season.",
