WEST LONG BRANCH, N.J. (AP) — Cody Williams found Reggie White Jr. alone in the end zone for a two-point conversion and a 42-41 Monmouth overtime victory over Fordham on Saturday.

The Rams missed a 47-yard field goal as time expired in regulation.
Edmonds finished with 208 yards on 25 carries, including a 77-yarder for the game's first score though the PAT was blocked. The junior has 51 career touchdowns, a school record.
White caught 10 passes for 167 yards, including both of Williams' TD passes. Royds added 100 yards on 19 carries with two touchdowns.
