Goal-line stand gives Lafayette 6-0 win over Sacred Heart
EASTON, Pa. (AP) Ryan Schuster scored the only touchdown and Lafayette Leopards stuffed Sacred Heart Pioneers at the goal line on the final play to give John Troxell a 6-0 victory Saturday in his first game as the Leopards' coach.
The Pioneers drove from their own 23 and had a first-and-goal from the 1 after Marquez McCray's 20-yard completion to Rob DiNota. But McCray threw two incompletions before Malik Grant was stopped on the final play in the season opener for both teams.
Schuster was 8 of 17 for just 8 yards net passing and two interceptions but after Joe Gillette returned a punt 22 yards to the Sacred Heart 21, Schuster ran for an 18-yard touchdown in the third quarter.
Sacred Heart outgained Lafayette 310-113 and had 10 more first downs.
Sacred Heart, the two-time defending Northeast Conference champion, had won the past five meetings.
