Trine's Michael Inge scored in overtime to lift the Thunder to a 20-14 win over LaGrange on Saturday at Callaway Stadium. The Panthers dropped to 2-4 on the season with their second straight loss. The Thunder upped their record to 4-1.

LaGrange forced the overtime with a late fourth quarter drive to tie the game. Ed Russ scored from the one and Drake Nahrwold's extra point tied the game at 14. The drive was 60 yards in 11 plays and followed Trine taking the lead on Devin Leas' 4-yard run.

On the ensuing kickoff, Trine's Myron Puryear muffed the return at his 5 and eventually was tackled in the end zone for an apparent safety. The play was ruled a touchback because of the muff and the Thunder took over at their own 20.

The Thunder punched out one first down, but on a fourth-and-two at their own 39, Nicholas Muir's punt was partially blocked by Jeremy Banks with the Panthers taking over at the Thunder 38 with only three seconds left in regulation.

Will Jeffcoat lined up for a 55-yard field goal attempt but the Thunder were called for 12 men on the field, moving the ball up to the 33. Jeffcoat's 50-yard attempt fell short, sending the game into overtime.

The Panthers got the ball first. Russ misfired on back-to-back passes to bring up third down. The Thunder's Blaek Combs intercepted Russ for the second time in the game, ending the Panthers' possession.

The Thunder needed only three plays to end the game. Staying on the ground, the Thunder gained seven yards on the first two plays. On third down, Inge broke free up the middle and walked into the endzone from 18 yards for the game-winner.

The Panthers trailed 7-0 at halftime. Combs' interception of Russ on the Panthers' first play from scrimmage led to a 13-yard touchdown run by quarterback Ryan Hargraves less than four minutes into the game.

The Panthers best scoring chance of the half came in the second quarter. Russ threw an 18-yard completion to Rodarius Houston to the Thunder 21. He ran 11 yards and another first down to the 10. But on the next play, he fumbled the snap with the Thunder's Kyle Sherwood recovering at the 18.

The Panthers put together a 8-play 60-yard scoring drive in the third quarter to tie the game. Russ had two completions to Devin Billings and with a 15-yard run by D. D. McMillian, the Panthers moved to the Thunder 20. On first and goal at the 9, Aaron Duncan ran into the middle of the line, bounced off would be tacklers and went around the right side for the touchdown. Nahrwold's extra point tied the game 7-7 heading to the fourth quarter.

The Panther defense held the Thunder to 256 yards of total offense, the fewest by an opponent this season. The Panthers allowed a season-low 74 yards in the air and had four quarterback sacks.

Andre Carter and Josh Clinton were each credited with eight tackles. Anthony Cochran had seven tackles, while Banks had five tackles, including two for losses and a quarterback sack.

The Panthers had 293 yards of total offense, 163 coming on the ground. Russ led the team with 50 yards rushing and passed for another 124 with the two interceptions.

The Panthers take the next week off, before hosting Trinity (Texas) for Homecoming on Oct. 22.
