Francis Cole sent the Blue Devils (2-3) into intermission with the lead, 17-14, after hitting a 50-yard field goal.

Lafayette (1-4) took a 24-17 lead to start the fourth quarter on Jeffrey Kordenbrock's 24-yard field goal, but Dolegala capped a 10-play, 60-yard drive to tie the game.

Dolegala was 23 of 36 for 202 yards and a touchdown and carried nine times for 37 yards.

Sean O'Malley was 30 of 41 for 328 yards and a touchdown for Lafayette.
