JACKSONVILLE, Ill. - The Beloit College Football team wrapped up the 2024 season this afternoon on the road against the Illinois College Blueboys. 

The Blueboys (8-2, 7-2 MWC) wasted no time swinging the momentum in their favor, scoring five touchdowns in the first quarter alone. The Buccaneers (1-9, 1-8 MWC) struggled to generate any consistent offense, managing just 119 total yards. The stifling defense of IC kept the pressure on the Buccaneers and limited them to just 27 yards rushing on 28 attempts. 

Bright spots for Beloit included a 15-yard touchdown reception by AJ Fitzpatrick (Chicago, IL) from quarterback Jacob Shafer (Dixon, IL) in the second quarter, and an 18-yard touchdown run by Jonathan Williamson (Lakeland, FL) later in the same period. Williamson's touchdown marked the first of the freshman's career. 

The Buccaneers wrap up the 2024 season with the loss.
