Delaware Valley football vs. Muhlenberg College: How to watch, what to know

DaQuan Bohannan, the starting quarterback for Delaware Valley University, remembers the last time the Aggies lost to Muhlenberg College.

It was Nov. 17, 2018. The first round of the NCAA Division III playoffs. Cornerback Nick Sirico intercepted an errant throw from Dashawn Darden and returned it 68 yards with :36 remaining in the game. Todd Spirt's PAT gave the Mules a 20-13 advantage and the game.

"I remember it because I was going to get into my car and leave but something told me to stick around and see what was going to happen," said Bohannan, who at the time was a member of the Bloomsburg University team. "It was a tough loss. Hopefully something like that won't happen to us."

DelVal's DaQuan Bohannon lets one go in last Saturday's 62-10 win over Anna Maria College in the first round of th NCAA Division III playoffs.
