Adrian, Mich. - The Alma College football team suffered a 56-21 loss to Adrian College on Saturday (Nov. 11) as the Scots closed out the 2017 season at Adrian's Docking Stadium.

Senior quarterback Dylan Zaborowski (Jackson, Mich./Michigan Center) tossed a pair of touchdown passes and ran for another score as the Scots (4-6 overall, 1-5 Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association) played from behind for most of the game. Seniors Jacob Shields (Rives Junction, Mich./Jackson Northwest) and Jacob McKiddie (Redford, Mich./Redford Union) both caught touchdowns, with McKiddie's catch being the first score of his career in his final collegiate game.

Alma was limited to a season-low 86 yards rushing as the Adrian defense held the Scots to 246 yards of total offense, the fewest yards this season. 

Clayton Uecker threw for 361 yards and four touchdowns for the Bulldogs (5-5, 4-2 MIAA), while Emmanuel Stewart scored three times on the ground. 

Defensively, freshman John Martinez (Alvin, Texas/Alvin) led the Scots with eight tackles.
