The Green Terror of McDaniel College defeated Saint Vincent by a final score of 52-37 in Westminster, MD.  For Saint Vincent, the point total represented their highest output since the program returned to action in 2007, but it was not enough to earn the win. 

McDaniel opened the scoring with just under six minutes remaining in the first quarter, as tight end Woody Butler caught a 19-yard pass from Tom Massucci to put the hosts up 7-0.  On the next play from scrimmage, a Bearcat fumble gave McDaniel the ball at the 26-yard line, and Massucci wasted no time, connecting with Matt Cahill on a touchdown pass on the next play, making it 14-0.

A penalty on the extra point forced McDaniel to kick off from deep in their own territory, and the Bearcats were able to put the ball back into play from midfield.  Four plays later, Jairus Marlow scampered 18 yards for a score, cutting the margin in half.

Early in the second quarter, another Bearcat drive into the red zone resulted in points, as Aaron Jones hit a 24-yard field goal that made it 14-10.

The Green Terror fought right back, scoring on a 5-yard run by Raymond O'Hara that made it 21-10.  After SVC was stopped and forced to punt on the next possession, McDaniel ran into some trouble of their own, finding themselves at their own 26 yard line in a third-and-28 situation.  However, while the Bearcats initially stopped the offense, a personal foul penalty resulted in an automatic first down and new life for the Green Terror, who took advantage of the opportunity, scoring five plays later to go up by a score of 28-10 with just 42 seconds left.

Saint Vincent was not finished, however, as Kevin Corona connected with Phil Masciantonio on a 53-yard touchdown strike.  After penalties forced the extra point attempt from 40-yards out, the half ended with SVC down, 28-16.

Most of the third quarter then belonged to the hosts, as they tallied three consecutive touchdowns, making it 49-16, before Marlow took a screen pass 61 yards for a Bearcat score.

After a McDaniel field goal early in the fourth quarter stretched the lead to 52-23, Saint Vincent rallied for a pair of late scores.

Marlow scored for the third time on the day with a 1-yard run, then Marvin Daney and Jake Smith combined for a pair of big plays.  First, Daney caught a 46-yard pass to the McDaniel eight, then Smith hit him with a 6-yard touchdown pass to end the scoring.

Corona was 13-24 through the air on the day, good for 265 yards and a pair of touchdowns.  Smith was 6-10 with one scoring pass.  Marlow led SVC rushers with 38 yards on six carries.

Daney caught 5 passes for 72 yards, while Marlow had a pair of catches for 79 yards.  Masciantonio, Marc Gonzales and Joe Strickland each had two catches.

Marlow led the team with 139 all-purpose yards, including a 22 yard kickoff return.  Jeff Graham led the defense with 10 tackles, while Sean Hufgard and David Ribero recorded 8 each.

McDaniel was led by TJ Develin who carried 21 times for 98 yards.  Massucci was 22 of 28 passing for 238 yards, with Matt Cahill catching a game-high 8 for 118 yards.

Saint Vincent will host Geneva at 2PM on Saturday at Chuck Noll Field.
