It was a good battle, but Wolf Point’s football team lost at Malta by a 28-14 final on Friday, Sept. 23.

The Mustangs accounted for the game’s first two touchdowns on passes of 40 and five yards.

After Wolf Point’s defense stopped Malta inside the Wolf Point 10-yard line, the Wolves drove the distance to get on the scoreboard. The Wolves scored on a 20-yard pass play from Juliun Benson to Gaige Bushman.

Malta increased its lead to 20-7 on a 10-yard pass in the third quarter.

The Wolves closed the margin to 20-14 when Preston Swenson caught a 21yard pass from Benson late in the third quarter. Swenson kicked both of Wolf Point’s conversions.

Down by only six points, Wolf Point drove deep into Malta territory midway into the fourth quarter but came up just short on a fourth-andtwo attempt.

The Mustangs added a touchdown on a 10-yard run with about three minutes to play.
