DES MOINES, Iowa – Dayton rallied for a 46-29 Pioneer Football League victory over the Drake University football team Saturday afternoon at Drake Stadium.

Drake (5-5, 5-2 PFL) held a 22-7 lead late in the second quarter but Dayton (7-3, 5-2 PFL) scored 10 points before halftime and added another 22 straight-points after the break that helped grab control the game.
