Lovell played a key role in the turnover game, recording an interception and recovering a pair of fumbles in the Owls’ 24-10 setback at VT State-Castleton. Stopped one drive with an interception at his own four-yard line, then recovered a fumble in the end zone which was forced at the goal line to thwart another scoring drive. His other fumble recovery came at the Castleton 4-yard line and set the Owls up for a game-tying field goal before the halftime. |
