  Ethan Ratke kicked a school-record six field goals and set two NCAA records in James Madison's 32-22 victory over William & Mary on Saturday. Ratke reached 100 career field goals, extending his own FCS record and breaking the NCAA record of 96 held by Arizona State's Zane Gonzalez (2013-16). With the six field goals and two PATs Saturday he has 517 points, passing Oklahoma's Austin Seibert (499 points, 2015-18) on the all-time scoring list for a kicker. The Dukes built a 23-0 lead midway through the third quarter behind three Ratke field goals, Cole Johnson's 3-yard TD pass to Kris Thornton and Johnson's 2-yard run.

The Tribe (6-4, 4-3 Colonial Athletic Association) scored on a 53-yard run by Malachi Imoh and a 46-yarder by Bronson Yoder to cut the deficit to eight early in the fourth quarter but three more Ratke field goals put the game out of reach.

The Dukes, who lost to Villanova 28-27, will play at Delaware in next Saturday. - AP College Football
