Johns Hopkins 35, Swarthmore 0
SWARTHMORE, Pa. -- Senior running back Scott Martorana rushed 27 times for a career-high 226 yards and two touchdowns and also caught a touchdown pass as Johns Hopkins cruised to a 35-0 victory against host Swarthmore.  The win was Hopkins' 10th in a row against Swarthmore (1-1).

Martorana capped a six-play, 59-yard drive for the Blue Jays (1-1) with a 6-yard touchdown reception from junior Rob Heleniak with 4:31 left in the first quarter to give JHU a 7-0 lead.  He added an 8-yard scoring run with 3:09 left in the second quarter to make it 14-0 and finished his scoring output with a 12-yard run early in the third quarter to push the lead to 28-0.  Martorana's 226 yards rushing rank as the fourth-highest single-game total in school history and the most by a Blue Jay running back since October 22, 1993, when Chuck Wotkowicz rushed for a school-record 347 yards against Georgetown.

Heleniak had another effective day for the Blue Jays as he was 15-for-21 for 121 yards and three touchdowns.  In addition to his scoring toss to Martorana, he also hit junior Zach Baylin from 16 yards out with just 20 seconds left in the second quarter to make it 21-0 and he added a 5-yard scoring pass to senior tight end Will Baskett with 2:26 left in the game to close out the scoring.

Swarthmore's best threat of the day came in the final minute of the game when the Garnet Tide drove to the Hopkins 7-yard line.  But the Blue Jays preserved their first shutout since September 19, 1998 (a 42-0 win at Swarthmore) when sophomore Matt Moritz intercepted a Scott Murray pass in the end zone on the final play of the game.  The Garnet Tide managed just 193 yards of total offense, 131 of which came from running back Ken Clark on 28 carries.

Baylin ended the day with a game-high eight receptions for 60 yards and the one touchdown.  His eight receptions increase his career total to 84, which moves him into ninth place on the all-time receptions list at Johns Hopkins.  In addition, he moved into 12th place on the all-time receiving yards list at Johns Hopkins with 921.

Murray was just 9-for-22 for 75 yards and he threw three interceptions on the day.  In addition to Moritz, junior Joe Angelosante and sophomore Nolan Ivers also came up with interceptions for Johns Hopkins.

Shenandoah 40, Gallaudet 6
WASHINGTON -- Anthony McGhee ran for 128 yards on only nine carries and Shenandoah took advantage of six Gallaudet turnovers to win for the first time since the resurrection of the program, 40-6.

McGhee led a rushing attack in which 15 different Hornet backs pounded the Bison for 372 yards and five touchdowns. The other Shenandoah scores came on a 29-yard fumble return by junior linebacker Michael Graham and a sack of the Gallaudet quarterback by Matt Harrison for a second-quarter safety.

Trailing 15-0 at the half, Gallaudet (0-2) fumbled three times in their first five plays from scrimmage to set up two Hornet scores. Shenandoah (1-2) started second-half drives with an average field position of the Gallaudet 46-yard line.

"I think we gave the game away," said Gallaudet head coach Rich Pelletier. "We played a great first half defensively.

"We're very young and inexperienced. We're not big. But we play hard and try hard."

While Shenandoah ran the ball well, starting quarterback Josh Copp was 2-for-7 passing for 30 yards. The other Shenandoah quarterbacks did not attempt a pass, and the Hornets did not throw the ball in the second half.

"I'm upset we didn't try to throw the ball," said Shenandoah head coach Walter Barr. "(Copp's) going to have to throw the ball and we didn't get a chance to let him."

The Hornet defense limited Gallaudet to 181 total yards, 73 of them coming on a catch-and-run for a touchdown by wideout Reginald Green. Justin Payne helped lead the charge with five total tackles, two sacks, while the squad broke up six Bison passes and intercepted another.

Defiance 28, Adrian 7
Defiance running back Maurice Hooker rushed for 182 yards and quarterback Kevin Kelly scored two touchdowns and passed for two more as the Yellow Jackets beat Adrian 28-7.

Adrian struggled offensively, gaining just 197 yards of total offense and converting 12 first downs. Defiance, meanwhile, had 21 first downs and 396 yards of total offense and controlled the clock for 38:42 of the game -- including a dominating first half that saw Adrian have the ball for just 8:54.

The Bulldogs looked sharp early as they put together a six play, 64 yard drive on their first possession of the game -- capped by a seven-yard touchdown pass from Brad Maska to tight end Mat Rehkopf. Phil Andre kicked the extra point, and AC enjoyed a 7-0 lead with 10:19 left to play in the first half. The key play in the drive was a 32-yard run by sophomore fullback Walter Ragland.

Defiance countered with a 28-yard Nick Zuchegno field goal and two touchdowns -- a 1-yard run by Kelly and a Kelly to Matt Gerig 21-yard pass -- and held a 15-7 halftime lead. The Yellow Jackets added two more scores in the second half, as Kelly scored his second rushing TD on a plunge from 1 yard out, then connected with Gerig on a 51-yard passing play over the middle.

Following AC's successful opening drive, the Bulldog offense stalled. Adrian punted seven times and had two drives thwarted due to interceptions.

Maska completed 9 of 24 passes for 90 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. Chris Cook had three catches for 48 yards, while Rehkopf finished with four catches for 33 yards. Ragland led the rushing game with 55 yards on nine carries.

Puget Sound 30, Claremont-Mudd-Scripps 27
CLAREMONT, Calif. -- David Sugihara blocked a potentially game-tying field goal as time expired to seal the University of Puget Sound's 30-27 victory against Claremont on Saturday.

The play was set up after Puget Sound recovered an onside kick with less than two minutes remaining, but then had to punt with 32 seconds left. A mishandled snap on the punt gave the Stags (1-1) good field position, and the Claremont kicking team was rushed onto the field for a 44-yard try with 1 second left.

Puget Sound's Craig Knapp completed 22 of 35 passes for 214 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. He also rushed five times for 29 yards. Chad Mahoe led the Loggers (1-1) with 93 yards on 25 carries, and Bryan Siu had seven receptions for 97 yards, while John Whitehead had five receptions for 57 yards. 

Ryan Gocong had a game-high 138 yards on 27 carries, with two touchdowns for Claremont. Nick Bonacci had 15 completions on 31 attempts, with three interceptions and no touchdowns for the Stags. Josh Walter had nine catches for 98 yards, and Ben Scott had six for 99 yards for Claremont.

Lewis & Clark 21, Redlands 17
PORTLAND, Ore. -- Lewis & Clark College used a 21-point fourth quarter to erase a 17-point deficit for a 21-17 come-from-behind victory over visiting Redlands on Saturday at Griswold Stadium.  The victory snaps the Pioneers' 16-game losing streak dating back to Sept. 26, 1998 when they won at Occidental 32-14.

Junior Jeff Scheid scored on a 1-yard touchdown run with 27 seconds remaining to cap the Pioneers' 13-play, 87-yard drive that began with 3:44 on the clock.  Junior Jason Hill, who moved to wide receiver this year after playing the last two as a defensive back, keyed Scheid's game-winning plunge with a 30-yard reception from Trent Thompson to the Redlands 2-yard line.

Redlands scored on its first possession of the game marching 61 yards on 13 plays before settling for a 27-yard field goal by Sean Lipscomb.  The Bulldogs later added a pair of rushing touchdowns by Shawn Watson (42 yards) and Jeff Thomas (30 yards) to stake its 17-point bulge.

Then the Pioneers' defense took over.  After totaling nine first downs and 207 yards of total offense in the first half, Redlands had only five first downs and 124 yards in the second.  Lewis & Clark senior Barry Friedman had a game-high 18 tackles, followed by Jon Bennion with 11.

"Our defense did a great job in the second half to shut down a stud offense like Redlands," said second-year coach Mike Fanger, who notched his first coaching victory in 10 tries at Lewis & Clark.  "Jonathan Ball (freshman who had a TD interception return) had a big game for us in his college debut.

"We had a competitive battle going on at the quarterback position this week, but we decided to go with Trent (Thompson), who has more athleticism.  Then Rusty (Lindsay) gave us great spark in a spread formation."

Redlands had a 331-264 edge in total offense for the game.  The Bulldogs also held the ball longer by a 2-to-1 ratio in time of possession.

Methodist 17, Salisbury St. 14
FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. -- Phillip Keever kicked a 35-yard field goal with 54 second left to give Methodist a 17-14 victory against Salisbury State Keever's field goal capped a 15-play 44-yard drive that ate up more than six minutes of the fourth quarter.

Reggie Boyce rushed for 124 yards and Tony Ellis had 114 for Salisbury State (1-2), but after Ellis scored on a 33-yard run in the first quarter the Sea Gulls had a tough time finding the end zone. 

Greg McDonald scored touchdowns on short runs in the second quarter to help give Methodist (3-0) a 14-7 lead. 

Salisbury State tied the score in the fourth quarter when Boyce scored on an 11-yard run, only to have Methodist respond with the game-winning drive. Dustin Daniels threw for 181 yards on 16-of-30 passing for Methodist, but had two interceptions.

The game-winning field goal was the fourth of the sophomore kicker's career.
