# Benedict College wins Division II playoff game on miracle 4th down TD

In one of the wildest finishes of Saturday, [Benedict College](https://x.com/benedict_tigers/status/1992365376605495783/photo/1) pulled off a stunning rally to shock Wingate University 25-24 in the first round of Division II playoffs.

What looked like a comfortable Wingate victory, up 24-0, quickly turned into chaos as Benedict’s defense tightened and its offense found rhythm in the fourth quarter.

Down 24-19 with 3 seconds left in regulation and 85 yards from the endzone, quarterback Jackson Jensen completed a pass to wide receiver Charle Simmons. He then threw the ball across the field to Malik Mullins, who raced into the remaining 80 yards for the game-winning score to cap an 18-point quarter.

> So this just happened after Wingate was up 24-0..and then..Benedict battles back..and then this slick last play. Craziest finish I’ve seen a long time. Benedict wins 25-24. [pic.twitter.com/M1zRiqpcVW](https://t.co/M1zRiqpcVW)

For [Benedict](https://hbcusports.com/?s=BENEDICT+COLLEGE), it was proof of the program’s resilience and belief, turning what seemed like a blowout defeat into a wild victory.
