Norfolk State let a 13-point advantage slip away in an 18-13 road loss at Wagner to drop its third straight game.
Quarterback Otto Kuhns threw for 119 yards and an interception, with Israel Carter entering late and also throwing an interception. Running backs Kevon King and X’Zavion Evans provided the team’s only touchdowns with first-quarter runs.
After a season-opening loss to Towson, the Spartans (1-4) secured a narrow victory over Virginia State but then suffered losses to Rutgers, Sacred Heart, and Wagner in succession.
