Taiyo Tezuka kicked a 28-yard field goal to break a 14-14 tie with 5:14 in the fourth quarter as the Keio University Unicorns rallied to beat the Meiji University Griffins 24-14 on Saturday at Kawasaki Fujimi Stadium.
The Unicorns are now 2-0 in the Kanto Collegiate League's "Top 8" division while the Griffins fell to 0-2.
The Unicorns defense, which gave up 42 points to Rikkyo University two weeks ago, improved greatly to hold the Griffins to only 153 yards of total offense. It sacked Meiji quarterback Yuki Hirose five times and a fumble recovery by defensive tackle Yosuke Kaneko in the fourth quarter set up the winning field goal.
