He ran for a 39-yard touchdown early in the third then added 82- and 22-yard scores in the final minutes of the game to finish off the win for the Wildcats (7-2, 6-1 Coastal Athletic Association), who are ranked eighth in the FCS coaches' poll.

Mace's 291 yards came on 28 carries and made up the majority of Villanova's 472 yards offense and eclipsed the 287 the Tigers (4-6, 2-4) collected. Pat McQuaide thew for 120 yards.

Andrew Indorf threw for 156 yards and ran for 38 more for Towson.
