ADRIAN, Mich. -- Running back Calebb Goings rushed 36 times for 137 yards and one touchdown, but the Siena Heights football team dropped a 20-14 triple-overtime contest to Olivet Nazarene (Ill.) on Saturday at O'Laughlin Stadium.

Tight end Donovan Campbell added a 57-yard touchdown reception from quarterback Matt King , but three touchdowns by ONU running back David Payne made the difference.

Olivet Nazarene (1-5) went up, 7-0, on its first possession on a 1-yard run by Payne and ensuing extra point by Andrew Muzljakovich and held the lead until the fourth.

Later in the first quarter, the Tigers had a chance to extend their lead until quarterback Rico Prestia fumbled at the SHU 15-yard-line; credit Chris Vann  with the forced fumble and defensive linemanJoseph Mravec with the recovery.

The Saints gained only nine yards in the first half before trekking on a six-play, 68-yard drive on their first possession of the third quarter, but the march ended on a SHU fumble that rolled out-of-bounds in the Tiger end zone. The play resulted in a touchback as visiting ONU escaped the first Siena Heights scoring threat.

Late in the third quarter, defensive back Fred Butler made a key interception for the Saints, snagging a Prestia pass at the Saints' goal-line. The turnover set up a seven-play, 98-yard drive, ending with the King-to-Campbell hookup.

In the opening overtime, the Saints took their first lead on a 14-yard Goings touchdown run, but the Tigers had a response with a 12-yard pass from Prestia to Payne.

During the second OT, Muzljakovich missed a 33-yard field goal before SHU kicker Jonah Harter had his 23-yard attempt blocked.

In the fateful third OT, ONU linebacker Michael Williams forced a fumble by Goings and defensive back Mark Kosrow recovered the ball. The Tigers then used four plays to travel 25 yards and finish the contest with a four-yard touchdown burst by Payne.

Payne ended with 11 carries for 53 yards and four catches for 68 yards. Fellow running back Michael Ho-Lewis had 20 runs for 66 yards while Prestia went 9 of 24 for 124 yards.

For the Siena Heights defense, defensive back Sederick Dunbar II , linebacker Tyler Karcher  and linebacker Trent Bragg  had nine, eight and seven tackles, respectively.

Mravec and defensive lineman Cecil Marious added sacks, defensive lineman Robert Becker had a forced fumble and defensive back DeShawn Gilbert made a fumble recovery. Bragg and Butler also had two pass breakups apiece.

ONU's defense was led by defensive lineman Myles Toney, who had seven tackles and three sacks. Williams and defensive lineman Tony Turner also had sacks.

The Saints (3-3) will return to action next weekend when defending national champ Saint Xavier (Ill.) visits for a 6 p.m. Mid-States Football Association Mideast Division kickoff. The Cougars were ranked sixth in the most recent NAIA coaches' poll.
