WESTMINSTER, Md. - Playing in his final game, senior Grayson Wendel caught two touchdown passes to lead the McDaniel College football in a 36-23 loss to Gettysburg on Senior Day Saturday on Rembert Field at Kenneth R. Gill Stadium.

The Green Terror (1-9, 0-7 CC) recognized 17 seniors who were playing in their final home game, highlighted by Wendel who hauled in the first two touchdowns of his career. He entered the game with 79 career catches for 1,124 yards without having found the end zone.

However, his first catch of the game was a 14-yard touchdown pass from sophomore Jayden Booker to tie the game at 10-10 with 7:19 remaining in the second quarter.

Wendel added a 9-yard touchdown reception from Booker on the final catch of his career with 8:53 to play in the fourth to pull McDaniel within six, 29-23. He finished his career with 82 catches for 1,149 yards to rank 14th on the program's all-time receiving yards list.

The Bullets (1-9, 1-6 CC) took control of the game with 16 unanswered points in the third quarter after the Green Terror took their first lead of the game, 16-13 with 9:15 left.

After Booker gave McDaniel the lead on a 1-yard run that capped a 15-play, 75-yard drive, the defense forced Gettysburg into its only punt of the game after the Green Terror halted the visitors drive at the McDaniel 36-yard line.

The pooch punt by quarterback Sean Clark would pin the Green Terror on their own 3-yard line and on the first play of the subsequent drive, Nate DeLorenzo and Justin Rhyne would combine on a safety as they tackled first-year Cordae James in the end zone to pull the Bullets within one.

On the ensuing kickoff, Nick Wonsala returned it 74 yards for the touchdown as the visitors went back in front, 22-16.

Wonsala scored again on the next offensive possession for Gettysburg, hauling in a 22-yard touchdown pass from Clark to put the Bullets ahead, 29-16 with 43 seconds to play in the third.

Wendel's second touchdown pulled McDaniel within six, but the visitors answered once again as Wonsala found the end zone for the third time on a 16-yard pass from Clark to provide the final margin.

Wonsala totaled 112 all-purpose yards and three touchdowns while Michael Zrelak had 211 yards rushing.

Booker completed 11-of-16 passes for 94 yards and two touchdowns while leading the team in rushing with 61 yards and one touchdown.

Senior Logan Marsh had one reception for six yards and is ranked 11th on the program's career receptions with list with 101. He is also 15th on the all-time receiving yards list with 1,068.
