AKRON, Ohio (AP) — Ben Finley's 21-yard touchdown pass to Adrian Norton with four minutes remaining lifted Akron to its first Mid-American Conference win of the season, 25-21 over Eastern Michigan on Saturday.

Elijah Jackson-Anderson rushed for a 40 yards on EMU's ensuing possession but was stripped of the ball by Justin Anderson and Paul Lewis recovered for the Zips (2-6, 1-3) at Akron's 16. The Eagles got the ball back with less than a minute remaining but a Hail Mary failed.

The Eagles (5-3, 2-2) had taken a 21-18 lead on Delbert Mimms' fourth-down plunge midway through the fourth quarter after an unsportsmanlike penalty at the Akron 5 gave EMU a first down.

Jordon Simmons had 109 yards rushing on 16 carries for Akron. Finley threw for 122 yards before being knocked out of the game while throwing his winning TD pass.

Cole Snyder was 28-of-47 passing for 346 yards and two scores for EMU. Oran Singleton had 102 yards on 10 catches.
