Football Falls to CRWU On Senior Day

Meadville, Pa. -- The Allegheny College football team suffered a 54-7 defeat against Case Western Reserve University on Saturday at Frank B. Fuhrer Field.

As part of the Senior Day festivities, Allegheny (2-7, 1-6 PAC) honored its fourteen senior football players with a pregame ceremony. These players included Shane Cafardi (Gibsonia, Pa./Pine-Richland), John Ian Duron (Coral Springs, Fla./J.P. Taravella), Austin Ferguson (Creedmoor, N.C./South Granville), Shawn Stelling (Southampton, N.Y./Southampton), LJ Orbovich (Pittsburgh, Pa./Carrick), Hudson Alread (Victor, N.Y./Victor), Hunter Lohr (Bowdoinham, Maine/Mt. Ararat), Tre Worship (East Cleveland, Ohio/Shaw), Trey Adams (Grove City, Pa./Grove City), Ocean Parodie (Parkland, Fla./Marjory Stoneman Douglas), Seth Jones (Hubbard, Ohio/Hubbard), Liam Alker-Connelly (Wexford, Pa./North Allegheny), Edward Veliz (Cutler Bay, Fla./Miami Palmetto), Maxwell Hammond (Gibsonia, Pa./Deer Lakes). Cheerleaders Sam Truzzi, Haley Hersh, and Marrisa Brasile were also recognized prior to the game.

The Spartans (6-2, 5-1 PAC) began the contest on a 30-point run, which included four touchdowns and a first-quarter safety. Case Western Reserve punter Joseph Rhodes V created the scoring opportunity for his defense with a perfectly-place punt that bounced out at the 1-yard line to set up Allegheny's third drive of the day.

Despite the early struggles, junior quarterback Jack Johnson (Hingham, Mass./Hingham/Milford Academy) connected with Lohr on the longest scoring play of the contest in the second quarter. Johnson found Lohr streaking past the CWRU secondary and the senior receiver had just enough to outrun the defenders to the end zone for a 75-yard touchdown to open the third drive of the second quarter. Garrett Paxton (Freedom, Pa./Freedom Area) kicked in the extra point to cut the deficit to 30-7.

The momentum shifted back to Case Western Reserve, as the Spartans finished the game on a 24-point barrage.
