Plymouth State 14, Norwich 9
PLYMOUTH, N.H. - Junior Russ Massahos accounted for 116 yards from scrimmage and a pair of touchdowns Saturday, leading Plymouth State to a 14-9 Freedom Football Conference victory against the Norwich Cadets at Currier Field.

The victory improves PSC to 2-1 overall and 1-0 in the FFC, while Norwich, which was 3-0 for the first time since 1983, falls to 3-1 overall and 1-1 in FFC play.

Massahos scored on a 2-yard touchdown run late in the second quarter to help PSC to a 7-6 lead at intermission. He then added a third-quarter TD on a 32-yard reception from sophomore Matt Simpson. Massahos completed his afternoon with 84 yards rushing on 31 carries, and the 32-yard catch.

"The score didn't show it, but I thought our offense played well," said Massahos. "We said before the game that we needed to get off to a good start in conference play. This win gives us a lot of confidence. It brought the offense together and got us back on track."

The PSC defense limited Norwich to 246 net yards (3.5 avg.), while the Panther offense generated 292 yards (4.2 vg.). Junior safety Mike Pelletier led Plymouth State with 15 tackles, including six unassisted.

"We thought maybe we were better than we were after beating RPI," said Pelletier, "but last week we were humbled by Brockport. Today we made the key plays, which proved our defense is back and playing well."

Norwich took a 6-0 lead seven minutes into the game when senior RB Zach Dyer scored on a 7-yard run. The Cadets failed on a two-point conversion, keeping it a six-point contest.

Massahos' 2-yard plunge with 3:13 left in the second quarter tied the score, capping a 12-play, 68-yard drive, and junior Cory Skillin added the extra point to give PSC a 7-6 advantage at the break.

After a scoreless third quarter, Massahos converted a screen pass into a 32-yard touchdown play, and Skillin's PAT made it a 14-6 game. Sophomore Kenny Hurren connected on a 38-yard field goal for Norwich with 9:47 to play to round out the scoring.

Norwich had two possessions in the closing minutes, but turned the ball over on its first possession, and came up short on 4th-and-3 at the Plymouth
State 39 with 41 seconds remaining. PSC missed a chance to seal the victory
when Skillin's 19-yard field goal attempt with 4:16 remaining was blocked.

"We've had scoring opportunities in the red zone," said PSC head coach Chris Rorke, "but we had dropped balls, penalties, turnovers. That's prevented us from being more successful. We're moving the ball pretty well; we're just not capitalizing on it. Today was evidence of that."

Middlebury 28, Bowdoin 14
MIDDLEBURY, Vt. -- Running back Bryan Sanchez racked up 174 yards with three touchdowns to lead Middlebury (1-0) to a 28-14 win against Bowdoin (0-1) in the season opener for both teams.

Middlebury opened the scoring with 8:56 left in the first quarter when Sanchez scored on a 3-yard run following a Bowdoin fumbled punt. The Panthers made it a 13-0 game with another three-yard score from Sanchez on a 57-yard drive.

Middlebury took a 21-0 advantage when Scott Roberts found Sanchez for a seven-yard touchdown pass early in the third quarter on an 84-yard drive. Middlebury scored its final touchdown midway through the fourth quarter when Roberts connected with Devon O'Neil for a 21-yard scoring strike at the 7:06 mark.

Bowdoin got on the board with 1:11 left as Travis Cummings scored from 1 yard out. Following an onside kick, Justin Hardison found Jason Rawlins for a 52-yard touchdown pass with 55 seconds left to make the final score 28-14.

Sanchez led the Panthers with 156 yards on 34 carries with a pair of touchdown runs. He also caught three passes for 18 yards with a touchdown. Cambell led the receivers with four receptions, while Roberts connected on 11 of 21 passes for 111 yards with two touchdowns and one interception.

Hardison completed 19 of 30 passes for 185 yards for Bowdoin with one touchdown and one interception. He also led the team with 47 rushing yards. Rawlins and Mike Taylor led the receivers with six receptions apiece.

Buffalo State 26, Cortland State 10
BUFFALO, N.Y. --  Buffalo State picked up its third consecutive victory with a 26-10 over Cortland at Coyer Field.

Two touchdown passes from Chris Henry to Derek Baker and two scoring runs by Shawn Starks completed the scoring for the Bengals, who racked up 385 yards in total offense. Baker's TD receptions came on pass plays of 66 and 95 yards, while both of Starks' scores came from 6 yards out.

The Buffalo State defense collected six sacks on the day and held the Cortland offense to 18 rushing yards on 25 carries as the Red Dragons were forced to get their yardage through the air. Cortland wound up with 269 yards.

The Bengals scored on their first two drives of the game. Starks opened the scoring with a touchdown on the team's first possession, then Baker reeled in a 66-yard TD pass from Baker to give Buffalo State a 14-0 lead.

Cortland came right back, collecting all ten of their points in the first quarter on a 1-yard run by Ryan McCarthy and a 27-yard field goal by George Oostmeyer, cutting the Bengals lead to 14-10.

Buffalo State went into the half up 20-10 on the second of Starks' scoring plays to close the scoring until the fourth quarter. The final scoring play iced the game for Buffalo State as Baker caught a short pass, then outran a Cortland defender for a 95-yard touchdown reception. That score followed a big series for the defense, which stopped Cortland on downs at the 2-yard line.

Ohio Northern 25, Baldwin-Wallace 9
BEREA, Ohio -- Ohio Northern overcame a sluggish first quarter and an
early 7-0 deficit to post a 25-9 road victory against Baldwin-Wallace Saturday afternoon at Finnie Stadium.

The No. 17 Polar Bears improve to 2-1 overall, 2-0 Ohio Athletic Conference, while the Yellow Jackets fall to 1-2, 0-2. The victory was the second consecutive and third in the last four years for the Bears against BWC. It was also the second ONU win in its last three trips to Finnie Stadium.

Northern's defense turned its second consecutive dominating performance, holding BW to only 178 yards of total offense. ONU had 398 yards on offense.

"This was a defensive battle on both sides of the ball," ONU head coach Tom Kaczkowski said. "We made enough plays on offense to score some points, but this game was dominated by the defenses. This may have been the finest performance by our defense since I've been at ONU."

Jamal Robertson led all rushers with 87 yards on 22 carries. Shane Franzer completed 10 of 22 passes for 150 yards for ONU. ONU scored 17 answered points to post a 17-7 halftime lead.

The Yellow Jackets scored on an 8-yard pass from Kenny Leonard to
Nick Andrukat late in the first period. Franzer hit Seth Kizer on a 9-yard score to tie the game at 7-7, then hit Tony Mitchell on a 4-yard score to give the Bears a 17-7 advantage. J.R. Cipra hit a 32-yard field goal sandwiched in-between the touchdowns to give ONU a 10-7 lead.

Northern went ahead 25-7 with 7:48 to go in the third period when Franzer scrambled in from 8-yards out. ONU marched 33 yards in eight plays after Brad Klaus intercepted Leonard on BW's first possession of the second half.

Jason Cliche pinned ONU at its 1-yard line with a 50-yard punt and the BW defense registered a safety when Franzer was unable to get out of his end zone on a bootleg play.

BW drove inside the ONU 20-yard line on two occasions after the safety, but the ONU defense held both times.

Brad Lohr led the ONU defense with 16 tackles and two sacks, while Brad Klaus added a pair of interceptions.

Curry 42, MIT 14
MILTON, Mass. -- Moses Curry scored three touchdowns as Curry College stormed back from a 14-0 first-quarter deficit to rout M.I.T. 42-14.

The Engineers' Kevin Richardson shocked the Curry homecoming crowd by returning the game's opening kickoff 95 yards, setting up a 2-yard scoring run by teammate Kamal Mokeddom.

At 6:27 of the first quarter, MIT stretched its lead to 14-0 after Jang Kim recovered a fumble by Curry's Tony Giannetti in the Colonels' end zone.

Giannetti more than redeemed himself on Curry's next two offensive possessions, scoring back-to-back touchdowns on a 24-yard pass from Neal
Houghton and a 36-yard run. The junior flanker posted the first 12 points in a 42-0 run by the Colonels.

Freshman running back Moses Curry accounted for 18 points himself, with touchdown runs of 1 and 6 yards, and a third for 54 yards -- the Colonels' longest run from scrimmage this season.

The Colonels also got six points from their defense, as senior cornerback Chris LeBlanc returned a fumble 33 yards for a score just prior to halftime.

MIT was held to 57 yards of total offense.

Hobart 13, Union 12
SCHENECTADY, N.Y. -- In a defensively controlled game, Hobart (2-1 overall, 1-1 UCAA) defeated Union (2-1 overall, 1-1 UCAA) 13-12 at Frank Bailey Field.

Halfback Terry Smith tossed a 4-yard scoring pass to Scott Yoder on third down with 2:43 left in the game to provide Hobart with the winning points. The Statesmen's defense recovered five fumbles and had an interception on a first and goal from their own nine in the second quarter.

Hobart started the scoring by taking advantage of Union's second turnover, when Statesmen quarterback Dan Birdsall scored from 1 yard out. The extra point made it 7-0 at 7:58 in the first quarter. Union came back three minutes and thirty-eight seconds later to tie the game with an 11-yard George Beebe touchdown run. Union went on to grab a 10-7 lead as Andrew Ruffo kicked a 38-yard field goal at 9:55 in the second quarter. Union then built its lead to 12-7 as Hobart punter Rob Crisafulli mishandled a snap in his own end zone and kicked it out of bounds with 20 seconds left in the third quarter.

Union had a final opportunity to pull the game out as junior quarterback Ben Gilbert ran for an apparent 40-yard touchdown that was called back on a holding penalty. Union could not gain the necessary five yards on its next two plays, giving the ball and the game to the Statesmen.

The Dutchmen picked up 301 yards in total offense while holding the Statesmen to 115, including minus-25 rushing yards. Smith's touchdown pass was the first given up by Union's defense this season.

Defensive standouts for Union included end Josh Steinhour (five tackles, three tackles for loss, four sacks and a forced fumble), corner back Brian Vegliando (10 tackles), and end Brevator Creech (seven tackles, a tackle for loss and a sack).

Defensive standouts for the Statesmen included linebacker David Szentsey (nine tackles, one tackle for loss and a fumble recovery), tackle Rich Barlette (eight tackles, two fumble recoveries and two pass breakups), and end Rob Gould (five tackles, one tackle for loss, a fumble recovery, an interception and a forced fumble).

Swarthmore 15, Gettysburg 10
GETTYSBURG, Pa. -- Jared Passmore threw a 51-yard touchdown pass off a fake punt and the Swarthmore defense stopped Gettysburg at the Garnet Tide 5 in the final minute to defeat the Bullets 15-10 in Centennial Conference action on Saturday.

With Gettysburg facing 4th-and-3 at the Swarthmore 7, Tony Hillery and
Kevin Perry stopped Gettysburg's Jay Toscano 1 yard shy of a first down to ice the victory with 34 seconds remaining. The win snapped the Garnet Tide's 31-game losing streak in conference play, dating back to a 19-18 decision against Dickinson on October 21, 1995.

Blake Atkins set career highs with nine catches for 81 yards and fellow wideout Rich Andres hauled in four passes for 99 yards, including the decisive touchdown from Passmore late in the second quarter. Rich Castelucci kicked three field goals for Swarthmore and also intercepted a pair of passes. The Garnet Tide recovered four Gettysburg fumbles on the afternoon and converted 12 points off of Bullet turnovers.

Dennis Flaherty completed 15 of 26 passes for 163 yards and one touchdown in the loss. Zack Smith carried 17 times for 91 yards, but left the game late in the first half due to injury and did not return. Toscano caught a team-high five passes and also carried 10 times for 42 yards in place of Smith.

Trailing 10-6 late in the second quarter and facing 4th-and-8 from its own 49, Swarthmore reached into its bag of tricks to go ahead for good. Passmore, a backup quarterback as well as the team's punter, lofted a pass that Andres hauled in under the Bullet punt coverage and carried the distance for a 51-yard touchdown and a 12-10 Garnet Tide lead.

Swarthmore added the game's only second-half points on its first drive of the third quarter. Behind six carries from Ken Clark and five consecutive completions by Scott Murray, the Garnet Tide marched 72 yards on 14 plays before Castellucci capped the seven-minute, 53-second drive with a 25-yard field goal, his third of the game.

Gettysburg failed to score on its next three possessions before taking over at its own 24 with 5:32 remaining in the game. Flaherty completed his next five completions, including three to Toscano and two to Mike Irvine as the the Bullets drove to the Swarthmore 10 with one minute left.

On 2nd-and-6, Byrnes and Perry teamed up to sack Flaherty at the Bullet 12. Following Gettysburg's final timeout two plays later, Flaherty found Toscano in the left flat, but Perry and Hillary stopped the Bullet fullback 1 yard shy of the first down to wrap up the win.

Gettysburg gave the Homecoming crowd something to cheer about early in the afternoon, scoring all 10 points on its first two possessions of the game. Dan Evanko booted a 22-yard field goal to give the Bullets a 3-0 lead following an interception by Kevin Golden on Swarthmore's first possession of the day.

Gettysburg drove 54 yards on six plays capped by a 10-yard touchdown pass from Flaherty to Bryan Pojanowski for 10-0 lead with 5:48 left in the first quarter. The touchdown catch was Pojanowski's team-leading third of the season. From there, thanks in part to six Gettysburg turnovers, Swarthmore held the Bullets in check the rest of the way. Castellucci connected on field goals of 29 and 33 yards in the first half to pull the Garnet Tide within 10-6.

Clark carried 23 times for 94 yards to lead the Swarthmore ground game while Murray finished with 17 completions on 31 attempts for 150 yards. Irvine finished with four catches for a career-best 44 receiving yards. 

Ryan Moore led all Bullets with 14 tackles while Keith Adams and Cliff Mason each made 10 stops.

Western Maryland 35, Ursinus 32
COLLEGEVILLE, Pa. -- Brent Sandrock's 28-yard field goal with eight seconds remaining was the game-winner as Western Maryland outlasted Ursinus, 35-32, in Centennial Conference football action.

In a game that saw 800 yards of total offense (400 for each team), WMC quarterback Boo Harris completed 17 of 36 passes for 304 yards and three scores while rushing for 76 more yards. Harris' favorite target was Teron Powell, who hauled in six balls for 156 yards and two touchdowns.

Ursinus came firing out of the gate, as Shearrod Duncan returned the opening kickoff 86 yards for a touchdown. A Tim Noone extra point and a 37-yard field goal from Tom Carluccio and the Bears held a 10-0 advantage at the end of the first quarter.

The Bears (2-1, 1-1) extended that lead to 17-0 as Chris Rahill found Rashard Williams from 18 yards out and Noone added another point after.

The Green Terror (3-1, 2-0) offense came to life in the second quarter as Harris connected with Powell on an 80-yard touchdown and Joe Ellis for a 14-yard score to close the gap to 17-14 at the half.

On their first possession of the second half, Ursinus drove the ball to the Terror 10. After a holding penalty, WMC's Chris Currence blocked Noone's 34-yard field goal attempt. Harris then found Roy Zimmerman from four yards out to give the Green Terror their first lead. 

On the Bears' next drive, Frank Vecchio hit Williams on what would have been a first down in Terror territory. But, as Williams crossed the WMC 40, Currence knocked the ball loose and Rob McCracken recovered it at the 36-yard line.

A Paul Graham interception at the Terror 34 put the Bears right back in business. Shearrod Duncan took over, carrying the ball four times for 24 yards, including a 4-yard score. Noone's extra point put the Bears back on top 24-20.

Western Maryland answered right back, as Harris and Powell hooked up again, this time from 34-yards out. Sandrock's extra point attempt was blocked and WMC led 32-24 with 4:52 left in the game. 

Vecchio opened the Bears' ensuing drive by hitting Chris Glowacki for a 16-yard gain. Two plays later, he found Joe Mauro streaking down the sideline for a 39-yard pickup down to the Western Maryland eight yardline. Brian DeGiosio ran it in from one yard out with 2:36 left to pull the Bears to within two. Vecchio found Joe Boger for the two-point conversion, and the score was knotted at 32-32.

With 2:31 left and two timeouts, the Green Terror embarked on the game-winning drive from their own 34. The drive was all Harris, as he ran for 19 yards and hit James Jegede for a 19-yard gain down to the Ursinus 27. He then found Kendorski for a 10-yard gain to the Bears 17. After his own 6-yard run set the ball in the middle of the field, Sandrock connected on the game-winner.

Harris' performance overshadowed the gutsy performance of  Vecchio, who was playing with a serious knee injury. After seeing limited action in the first half and sitting for the majority of the third quarter, Vecchio kept the Bears in the game. He finished with 180 yards on 9-for-18 passing.

Duncan eclipsed the 100-yard mark for the second consecutive game, rushing for 115 yards on 25 carries. Mauro caught six passes for 98 yards, while Glowacki added four catches for 80 yards.

Mass-Dartmouth 65, Maine Maritime 6
Mass-Dartmouth defeated Maine Maritime Academy by the score of 65 to 6 in a New England Football Conference contest at Mass-Dartmouth. The win was the Corsairs' second in a row, making Mass-Dartmouth 2-1, 2-0 in conference play. Maine Maritime's record dropped to 0-3, 0-2. 

Mass-Dartmouth running back senior Frank Meranda rushed for 127 yards and 4 touchdowns to lead the explosive Corsair attack. Senior quarterback Matt McLaughlin tossed three touchdown passes, all in the first quarter. McLaughlin threw for 177 net yards on 11 completions. The Corsairs amassed 426 yards of total offense. 

The tough Mass-Dartmouth defense allowed just 187 net yards, 76 of those on Maine Maritime's first offensive play of the game, a touchdown strike from Chris Pelletier to Eric McCasin.

Widener 52, Delaware Valley 7
DOYLESTOWN, Pa. -- Widener scored on the first play of the game and went on to accumulate 527 yards of total offense as the No. 25 Pioneers downed host Delaware Valley 52-7 in a Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) game.

Widener improved to 3-0 on the season and retained the Keystone Cup, which is handed out annually to the winner of the Widener-Delaware Valley game in recognition of small college football excellence in the Philadelphia area. Widener has won the Keystone Cup 19 times in 20 contests.

The Aggies fell to 0-3 with all three losses coming at home. Delaware Valley's defense had allowed only 33 points in its first two games before giving up 52 on Saturday.

The Pioneers returned the opening kickoff to their own 33-yard line and, on the first play, quarterback Mike Granato hit a streaking Mike Coleman for a touchdown. Paul Ragan added the extra point for a 7-0 lead just 19 seconds into the contest.

Widener upped the lead to 14-0 with a 10-play, 76-yard scoring drive. The drive ended with Granato's 26-yard touchdown pass to Jim Jones with 5:43 left in the first quarter.

Delaware Valley cut the lead in half just six seconds into the second quarter as quarterback Duke Greco caught a 4-yard touchdown pass from halfback Chris McIver. The trickery ended a 20-yard scoring drive that was set up by a blocked punt as Matt Showalter got his hands on Christian Kearns' kick. However, the Pioneers went on to score 38 unanswered points, including 14 more before halftime. Both of those touchdowns were long strikes from Mike Granato to Coleman. The first was a 55-yard score with 9:35 left in the half and the latter came with just 26 seconds remaining as the two combined for a 71-yard pass.

Coleman finished with five receptions for a school-record 225 yards. His three touchdowns tied a Widener record and it was the third time in his career that Coleman caught three scoring passes in one game. Mike Granato finished the day 11-for-21 for 316 yards and four touchdowns.

Widener opened the second half with a defensive touchdown as T.J. Granato stripped an Aggie running back and returned the fumble 39 yards for a score. Ragan followed with a 32-yard field goal and Mike Ambrose broke a 79-yard touchdown run with 3:14 left in the third quarter. The final tally came with 2:11 remaining in the contest as James Berry found the end zone from 23 yards out.

Bethany 47, Gallaudet 0
BETHANY, W.Va. — Bethany ran its season-opening winning streak to four games and its overall winning streak to seven games with a 47-0 shutout of Gallaudet on Saturday afternoon.

Bethany wasted little time in jumping on Gallaudet, scoring four touchdowns in the first quarter. The Bison opened the game with a five-play, 69-yard drive, capped off by a 31-yard TD pass from junior quarterback Justin Green to junior wide receiver Derek Hoffman.

Following a bad punt snap by Gallaudet, Bethany took over on their opposition's 6-yard line. Green took it over from the 2-yard line and staked Bethany to a 14-0 lead.

Sophomore running back Brandon Isbell made it 21-0 Bison with a seven-yard scamper with seven minutes left in the first quarter. Isbell tacked on his second score of the day when he took one in from the four-yard line to run Bethany's lead to 27-0.

The Bison scoring slowed down for the rest of the game as the substitutes took over. Bethany did run its lead to 34-0 when sophomore Will Anderson  scored from 2 yards out midway through the second quarter.

The second half continued Bethany's roll. Freshman linebacker Chris Timpson intercepted a pass on Gallaudet's first possession of the second half and returned it to the visitor's 9-yard line. After two Gallaudet stops, freshman running back Tom Medina rambled in from 13 yards out to run Bethany's lead to 40-0.

The Bison defense continued its dominance of Gallaudet. Bethany held the visitors to 74 yards of total offense and forced three turnovers. The Bethany offense, which threw only four passes all day, continued to pound the ball on the ground. The 15th-best rushing offense in the nation grinded out 351 yards on the ground and scored six touchdowns. The final tally came with 11 minutes left in the game when freshman J.K. Murphy scored from 2 yards out to push the final margin to 47-0.

The Bethany ground attack was paced by Isbell, who ran for 116 yards and two TDs on 15 carries. The shutout of Gallaudet was the second of the season for the Bison, the first time since 1981 that Bethany recorded two shutouts in the same season.

The Bethany win ran its winning streak to seven games, dating back to last year. It's also the first time since 1980 that the Green and White have started out 4-0.

Johns Hopkins 42, Kings Point 6
BALTIMORE -- Junior quarterback Rob Heleniak completed 19 of 21 passes for 247 yards and three touchdowns and Johns Hopkins rolled up over 200 yards rushing and 250 yards passing as the Blue Jays improved to 2-1 on the year with a convincing 42-6 win over visiting Kings Point.  The 36-point margin of victory is the largest for the Blue Jays in a non-conference game since October 21, 1984, when JHU knocked off Georgetown, 42-0.

Heleniak, who has thrown for nine touchdowns against just one interception through three games, got the Blue Jays going early as he staked Hopkins to an early 7-0 lead with a 53-yard scoring pass to senior Scott Martorana less than four minutes into the game. He sandwiched scoring passes of 21 yards and 6 yards to junior wide receiver Zach Baylin around a 1-yard Martorana
rushing touchdown in the second quarter to give the Blue Jays an insurmountable 28-0 lead with less than three minutes remaining in the first half.

The Mariners (0-4), who amassed just 169 yards of total offense and six first downs in the game, got on the board with 40 seconds left in the second quarter when senior running back Tori Fredericks took a screen pass from freshman quarterback Dan Circelli and scampered into the end zone from 7 yards out.  The extra point was no good and the Mariners never threatened again.

Hopkins added a pair of touchdowns in the second half. Sophomore running
back Kevin Johnson scored on a 13-yard run with 9:59 left in the third quarter and sophomore running back Harrell Lightfoot added a 4-yard scoring run early in the fourth quarter to close out the scoring.

Heleniak set what are believed to be a pair of school records in the game. His single-game completion percentage of .904 is a school record and just missed the NCAA III record of .913 (with 20 or more attempts), while this was also the third consecutive game he has thrown three touchdown passes, which is believed to be a first for a Hopkins quarterback.

Martorana led the Blue Jays with 54 yards rushing, 88 yards receiving and the two touchdowns, while Baylin's eight receptions moved him into sixth place on the career receptions list at JHU (92).  Johns Hopkins amassed 475 yards of total offense and averaged nearly seven yards per play in the game.

Kings Point got a team-high 50 yards rushing from Fredericks, while Circelli was 10-for-18 for 104 yards and the one touchdown.  Junior wide receiver Jay DeBruhl had team-highs of three receptions for 76 yards.
