GRAMBLING, La. (AP) — Miguel Mendez kicked a 45-yard field goal in overtime and Grambling handed Alcorn State its first Southwestern Athletic Conference loss, 19-16 on Saturday.

After Mendez’s field goal, the Braves (6-3, 4-1) drove to the 11 but got backed up to the 16 after a false start penalty on third-and-8. Corey McCullough missed a 33-yard field goal attempt that would have sent the game to a second overtime.

McCullough had made three field goals earlier in the game, but he missed the one in overtime and a 47-yard attempt as time expired in regulation.

“This was a tough loss for us against a tough Grambling team. I credit Grambling for making enough plays to win the ball game, and we obviously didn’t do enough,” Alcorn coach Fred McNair said. “We didn’t finish drives and we threw interceptions in the red zone. We couldn’t sustain drives and that cost us the ball game. We fought hard, but we gave up two touchdowns and there’s a lot of things that we need to clean-up. We have to be able to execute, but we didn’t do a good job of it today.”

Alcorn saw its five-game winning-streak come to an end. The Braves had also won seven straight games against SWAC West Division opponents.

Grambling (5-4, 3-2) went on an eight-play, 80-yard drive capped by Charles Wright’s 29-yard TD pass to Kobe’ Ross that tied the game at 16-all with 1:07 left in regulation. Mendez missed the extra point attempt.

Geremy Hickbottom passed for 157 yards, Kevin Dominique rushed for 69 yards and Raylon Richardson caught six passes for 101 yards for Grambling.

Felix Harper had 269 yards passing, Niko Duffey had 158 yards from scrimmage and Raidarious Anderson caught six passes for 103 yards for Alcorn State.
