DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — Mason Hackett rushed for 218 yards on 22 carries, Gideon Lampron blocked two field goals and Dayton held off Davidson 16-14 on Saturday.

Davidson's final two drives each lasted 12-plus plays, but both ended in missed field goals by Adam Zouagui — the last from 51 yards out with 22 seconds left. Zouagui finished 0 for 4, with three getting blocked.

Mac Grant III also made a big play for the Dayton special teams when he blocked a punt late in the second quarter and scooped it up before being tackled at the 10. Three plays later, Drew VanVleet connected with Jake Coleman from 3 yards out for a 13-0 lead.

VanVleet, who was named the Pioneer Football League offensive player of the week on Monday after passing for a career-best 323 yards with five TDs at Marist, was 13 of 26 for 110 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions for Dayton (4-1, 2-0).

Mason Sheron led Davidson (4-2, 2-1) with 152 yards rushing and two touchdowns. The Wildcats entered as the top rushing offense in FCS by averaging 368.6 yards per game. Davidson finished with 59 carries for 260 yards.
