LORETTO, PA- The Saint Francis football team honored 20 seniors as well as the band, cheer and dance team on Saturday but Central Connecticut State used a fourth quarter turnover as a springboard to a 30-14 victory at DeGol Field on a cold, blustery day at DeGol Field.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
 
FIRST QUARTER RECAP

• Saint Francis took the ball to start the game and sophomore Joel Denley (Beaumont, Texas/West Brook) provided an early rushing spark with a pair of first downs.
• After the SFU opening drive stalled, junior Da'Jon Lee (Fairfax, Va./Robinson) sacked Jacob Dolegala to immediately stall the CCSU drive.
• Senior Jymere Jordan-Toney (Philadelphia, Pa./Franklin) got the Red Flash rush going with a pair of first down runs including a 20-yard jaunt.
• Senior Bear Fenimore (Austin, Texas/Westwood) hit senior Kam Lewis for a first down and junior Cyrus Holder (Uniondale, N.Y./Milford Academy) drew a pass interference to set up a goal-to-go situation.
• Fenimore hit Lewis again, this time on a two-yard slant for the game's first TD.
• Tailback Aaron Dawson got going for CCSU and a trio of first-down runs got the Blue Devils into the red zone as the quarter expired.

 
SECOND QUARTER RECAP

• The Red Flash defense nearly made a goal-line stand but Dawson powered in from two-yards out on fourth down early in the quarter to tie the score.
• The ensuing SFU drive stalled and CCSU pulled out some trickery on its next drive, faking a reverse and hitting tight end Arthur Gilmore for 47 yards and a touchdown.
• Jordan-Toney fumbled the ball on a cutback on the next Red Flash drive. CCSU recovered at the SFU 7, setting up a first-and-goal.
• The #darkside forced a turnover after CCSU faked a field goal and Dolegala's pass fell incomplete.
• Neither team was able to sustain a drive after the turnover with the teams trading punts the rest of the half.
• CCSU led 14-7 at the break.

 
THIRD QUARTER RECAP

• After the Red Flash forced a three-and-out on the opening drive of the half, Denley took a Fenimore pass 26 yards and had an 11-yard rush to push SFU into Blue Devil territory.
• After the SFU drive stalled, a perfectly executed jailbreak screen by CCSU broke Drew Jean-Guillaume for 87 yards and a score to put CCSU up 21-7.
• The teams continued to trade punts after the CCSU score until senior linebacker Ben Bruni (Pittsburgh, Pa./Mt. Lebanon) recovered an errant option pitch to set up SFU at the CCSU 34.
• A roughing the passer penalty and a Nick Rinella (Collegeville, Pa./La Salle College) wildcat rush put SFU deep in CCSU territory.
• Jymere Jordan-Toney (Philadelphia, Pa./Franklin) converted a big fourth down to set up a goal-to-go situation.
