Assumption
College Weekly Sports Note Book WORCESTER, Mass. --- Senior running back KEVIN L'ECUYER (Leominster, MA/Leominster) rushed for 105 yards and scored two touchdowns to lead Assumption College past Saint Anselm, 26-23, in a Northeast-10 Conference game Friday night. In addition freshman cornerback BERNARD SCOTT (St. Petersburg, FL/Admiral Farragut) returned a defensive conversion a school-record 100 yards and on the next series intercepted a pass and returned it 32 yards for a touchdown in the fourth period. Defensively, freshman linebacker DUSTIN ZITZMANN (Pinellas Park, FL/Dixie Hollins) led the Greyhounds with 3-8--11 tackles (season 12-18--30 to lead the team) and senior linebacker MARK CINAR (Watertown, MA/Watertown) chipped in with 4-6--10 (season 10-15--25). Saint Anselm took a quick 7-0 lead on its first possession driving 76 yards in 11 plays. A 32-yard pass from Stevens to wide receiver Corey Williams highlighted the march capped by a 12-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Pat Turner. Mike Garcarz kicked the conversion. On the next series the Hounds narrowed the gap to 7-6 driving 65 yards in six plays. Senior quarterback JOE CORREIA (Melrose, MA/St. John's Prep) found freshman wide receiver DAVE CANNEY (Templeton, MA/Narragansett) for 19 yards on a third-down play and then found senior wide receiver JAKE BEERS (Duxbury, MA/Duxbury) for 18 more to the Hawks 25. L'Ecuyer scampered the final 25 yards on a counter to make it 7-6. The conversion kick failed. Saint Anselm moved
ahead 10-6 as Garcarz kicked a 44-yard field goal with 3:05 left in the first
period. On the Hounds next possession Tobin capped a 12-play, 49-yard drive with a 26-yard field goal to make it 16-10. Correia completed passes of 26 yards to junior tight end JAKE LONGENECKER (Fernandina, FL/Manchester, NH West), 12 yards to L'Ecuyer and 15 yards to Canney to highlight the march. After a scoreless third period the Hounds defense got into the act registering a safety for the second straight game. Junior punter JUSTIN ANTONE (Dracut, MA/Bishop Guertin)---who averaged 39.2 yards per kick with two inside the 20-- knocked one out on the Saint Anselm three yard line. On the third play Hounds' sophomore tackle TERRY STANFORD (Ridgefield Park, NJ/Ridgefield Park) tackled Stevens in the endzone for the two-pointer and an 18-10 advantage. But the Hawks came right back as an interception and return set Saint Anselm up at the 30. Quarterback Geoff Steven scored on a one-yard sneak to make it a two-point game, On the attempt for a two-point conversion that would have tied the game Scott picked off the pass intended for Williams and returned it 100 yards to give the Greyhounds the two-pointer (and a 20-16 lead) instead---the first defensive conversion since 2000 for the Hounds and first in the new stadium and only the second at home. On the next Saint Anselm series junior linebacker TONY SAVARESE (Simsbury, CT/Simsbury) tipped a Stevens pass and Scott picked it off and rambled 32 yards for a score. Tobin's conversion point made it 26-16. And still the Hawks came back as Stevens scored from three yards out and Garcarz' conversion attempt made it a three-point game once again.
