CLU falls to Chapman
STORY TOOLS 
More from CollegeORANGE — Chapman College quarterback Eric Marty threw for touchdowns on consecutive third-quarter possessions to break a 23-23 tie and Chapman went on to a 44-30 victory over Cal Lutheran on Saturday night, ending CLU's three-game win streak and halting an eight-game Chapman losing streak against the Kingsmen.
CLU is 3-3. Chapman is now 4-2.
In his first game at quarterback since starter Jericho Toilolo was lost to injury, CLU's R.J. Benedict was 21 of 44 for 195 yards with two interceptions. He had a 21-yard TD pass to Brandyn Bennett and scoring runs of 1 and 3 yards.
But Chapman's quarterbacking tandem of Marty and Luke Robinson combined for 449 yards. Most of that came from Marty, who was 18 of 24 yards for 334 yards with three touchdowns, including the go-ahead throws of 32 yards to Nick Pearson (St. Bonaventure High) and 18 yards to Lance Carter.
CLU's difficulty in sustaining offensive drives was reflected in the final numbers. The Kingsmen were outgained 596 yards to 259, and unofficially had possession for just 16 minutes, 33 seconds.
