Interception by HC's Michael Wright of SHU QB Dale Fink

This is promising to be real, real, real ugly fast.

[danefan]

what we all expected I think after SHU's loss to Marist last week. Talk about a reversion on SHU's part. They showed some promise last year. Who knows what happened in the offseason.

[Lehigh Football Nation]

Bellomo 3 yard TD run

SHU isn't coming close to stopping the Crusaders

XP Good

HC 21

[Go...gate]

Nice going, Crusaders. Keep up the good work!

[Dane96]

Good lord...what the heck has happened down in CT this year? How do yuou revert in a 180 that much?

[DFW HOYA]

This should be a shootout.

Maybe "firing squad" might be more appropriate. SHU doesn't have the weapons.

WR Houghton end-around 10 yad TD run

Gilmore not happy

[Lehigh Football Nation]

Broadcast team notes that Coles returned another KO for a TD earlier, but it was called back on a penalty.

[Lehigh Football Nation]

SHU's Gary Coles catches the ball at the 1 yard line.. Pioneers showing some fight.

[Lehigh Football Nation]

Coles 1 yard TD run - TD

XP is... Good

HC 28
SHU 14

1:58 left

Announcers say that it looked like the ball was knocked out before Coles crossed the goal line. Said that the refs "were staying away from Gilmore as far as humanly possible".

[Lehigh Football Nation]

Dornfield 34 yard FG to end the half... Good

HC 31
SHU 14

Halftime

[breezy]

I watched the first half. HC was dominant early, which always makes me nervous because teams often lose intensity when it gets a big lead. Predictably, HC allowed SHU to get 14 unanswered points on a sequence of the kickoff return, followed by an HC three-and-out, followed by an SHU drive.

HC gets a big FG just before the half to go up 31-14. It's big because HC has to kickoff to SHU to start the second half.

HC showing much better run offense this week.

[Lehigh Football Nation]

HC 38
SHU 14

mid-3rd

Didn't catch who got the TD.

[Lehigh Football Nation]

Tedesco 9 yard TD pass from Fink

Caught a 1 and made it in

XP Good

HC 38
SHU 21

late 3rd

[breezy]

HC now up 52-21.

Sacred Heart has shown the ability to move the ball, but was unable to finish on a couple of drives.

HC's last touchdown scored by Dom Randolph's backup, soph QB Kevin Watson.

[Dane96]

SHU is confounding...

...but Holy Cross seems to be the real deal.

[breezy]

Final --

HC 52, SHU 21.
