FRESNO, Calif. (FOX26) — The Fresno City College football team ended a 16-game conference win streak for Modesto College on Saturday, Oct. 17, relying on defense and special teams to pull out a 24-17 victory.
The Rams (5-2) tied the game on a 40-yard field goal from Jared Roberts, set up by a Pirate fumble forced by linebacker Aidan Chavez.
Then, with less than two minutes to play, Roberts punted and pinned the Pirates back to their own 1-yard line.
Modesto fumbled on the very next play, and Fresno City freshman safety Tana Tavui fell on the football for the game-winning touchdown.
