PITTSBURG -- Zach Zebrowski passed for 382 yards and two touchdowns and rushed for a pair of scores in leading the University of Central Missouri to a 37-13 road win over No. 5 Pittsburg State University Saturday (Nov. 2) at Carnie Smith Stadium.

The Gorillas (7-2, 6-2 MIAA) led 10-7 late in the second quarter, but the Mules (6-3, 4-3 MIAA) outscored Pitt State 30-3 the rest of the way.

UCM scored 17 points in the final 3:39 of the second quarter to take a 24-10 halftime lead. Brett Grupe booted a 22-yard field goal to tie the game at 10-10 with 3:39 remaining in the first half. Two minutes later, Zebrowski connected with Michael Fitzgerald on a 62-yard scoring pass three plays after the Mules defense forced a quick four-and-out series by the Gorillas.

UCM forced another Pitt State three-and-out to get the ball back with 41 seconds to play and the Mules cashed in again with Zebrowski tossing a 15-yard TD pass to Cristian Dixon to cap a four-play, 69-yard drive with 12 ticks on the scoreboard.

The Mules stretched their lead to 27-10 on Grupe's 31-yard third quarter field goal, before Pitt State got a 25-yard field goal from Gentry Cole to break the scoring run.

Chad Dodson Jr. completed 16 of 36 passes for 231 yards in the game, including a nine-yard second quarter touchdown pass to tight end Mario Kirby Jr. Noah Hernande carried the ball 10 times for a team-leading 38 yards. The Gorillas managed just 99 net rushing yards on 32 carries in the game.

Linebacker Thomas Cook posted a team-leading nine tackles, while safety Ryan Medeiros added eight stops. Safety Jordan Rogers chipped in with four tackles and an interception.

The Gorillas are idle next week and Pitt State will close out the regular season on the road against Northwest Missouri State University on Nov. 16.
