NEW YORK (AP) Kevin Anderson threw three touchdown passes, including the game-winner to Robbie Cantelli with 4:55 remaining, and Fordham beat Colgate 24-20 on Saturday.

On the previous play, Chase Edmonds' 4-yard carry on fourth-and-2 extended the drive for Fordham (6-3, 3-1 Patriot). Anderson then found Cantelli in the back of the end zone from 20 yards out to complete a 10-point comeback.

Anderson and Cantelli hooked up with 3:38 left in the third quarter on a 14-yard connection to cut Colgate's lead to 20-17.

Keyon Washington's 16-yard scoring run gave Colgate (3-5, 2-2) a 7-3 lead midway through the first quarter. Anderson found Phazahn Odom for a 30-yard score early in the second, but Washington ripped off a 42-yard TD with 56 seconds left in the half to give the Raiders a 14-10 lead at the break.

Jake Melville's 63-yard run on the first possession out of halftime increased the advantage 20-10.

Melville passed for 106 yards and rushed for 124 yards on 12 carries.
