TOWSON, Md. — Sean Brown threw a pair of touchdown passes and Branson Peters returned a fumble 78 yards for touchdown and Towson beat FCS 10th-ranked William & Mary 34-27 in a Coastal Athletic Association showdown Saturday night.

William & Mary tied the game at 13-13 as time expired in the first half when Eric Bernstein converted a 24-yard field goal, but Brown put the Tigers in front for good with a 16-yard touchdown pass to John Dunmore.

The Tribe drove to the Towson 11, but on first-and-10 CJ McClendon sacked Darius Wilson, stripping the ball loose for Peters to recover and race untouched for a touchdown to take a 27-13 lead.
