No. 18-ranked Ohio Northern opened its 2016 season with a tough 34-30 loss at Utica (N.Y.) on Saturday afternoon at Gaetano Stadium.

The Polar Bears (0-1 overall) were in control for most of the afternoon and led 30-13 with seven minutes left in the game.

But the Pioneers (2-0) scored 21 points in the final 6:35, including an 8-yard TD pass with 15 seconds to play, to post the improbable win.

Northern had one final chance as sophomore Will Freed completed a 35-yard pass to junior Chad Rex to put the ball at the 25-yard line with three seconds left.
