The Red Wolves recorded 243 yards of total offense, including 116 on the ground, but had no answer for balanced running and passing attack from Westminster.
Big plays hurt the Saint Francis defense from the onset. After forcing a punt on the opening possession Westminster took over at the Saint Francis 45-yard-line. The very next play running back Jayveer White scored his first of three touchdowns.
After falling behind 14-0, the Red Wolves got on the scoreboard with a 24-yard field goal by
Ian Palilla late in the first quarter. Saint Francis followed with a seven-play, 68-yard drive in the second quarter, capped by a 5-yard touchdown run from
Cam Wagner to cut the deficit to 21-9.
Westminster's quarterback tandem of Quentin Goode and Sean O'Shea directed four touchdown drives to take a 2709 advantage into halftime.
The Titan extended its lead in the third quarter, but Saint Francis answered when Wagner connected with tight end
Scott Raymond for a 36-yard touchdown.
In the fourth quarter, the Red Wolves put together another scoring drive marching 65 yards in eight plays.
Caden Sumeriski finished with a four-yard touchdown run.
Jerome Ross III led the Saint Francis rushing attack with 56 yards on seven carries, including a 36-yard run.

Sumeriski finished with 30 yards and a touchdown on six carries.
On defense,
Grayden Lewis recorded nine tackles plus his first interception of the season.
Gavin Hockenberry also finished with nine tackles, including one for a loss.
