Ranieri finally broke through for Assumption with the game-winner just over two minutes into the second overtime period. Franklin Pierce turned the ball over inside the circle, which allowed Assumption junior forward Hillary ZYSK (Walpole, MA/Walpole) to feed Ranieri on the right side for the game's only goal.

LAST YEAR'S GAME WITH MERRIMACK: Senior Colin Temple completed 18-of-28 passes for 249 yards and two touchdowns and junior wide receiver Chris Laham caught seven passes for 152 yards to lead Merrimack past Assumption, 33-20, in a Northeast-10 football game at the Multi-Sports Stadium.

The Greyhounds outgained the visiting Warriors, 431-333, and got standout performances from junior quarterback Taylor HUMPHREYS (Lafayette, CA/Miramonte, CA) (25-for-38, 265 yards) and freshman running back Herb WOODARD (Salem, NJ/Salem) (17 carries, 129 yards). Defensively, sophomore linebacker Dustin ZITZMANN (Pinellas Park, FL/Dixie Hollins) finished with 3-7- 10 tackles, his sixth double-figure tackle game this year, and junior safety Chris MARTINO (Lincroft, NJ/Middletown South) had two interceptions and six tackles.

And, senior wide receiver Jake BEERS (Duxbury, MA/Duxbury) became the Greyhounds' career leader in receptions catching six for 91 yards --- he now has 143 for his career surpassing Eric Mauer (1997-2000) who caught 140 in his career. The Warriors led 17-14 after one period as the teams combined for 134 yards rushing and 149 yards passing --- 283 yards of total offense!

Merrimack advanced the opening drive 47 yards in 11 plays --- with sophomore running back Richard Johnson carrying seven times for 27 yards. Sophomore placekicker Sean Garbey kicked a 29-yard field goal to cap the drive as the Greyhounds' defense stiffened.

Freshman safety Keith BATES (Holden, MA/Wachusett) stopped Johnson for a four-yard loss on second down at the nine and then junior linebacker Mitchell WELCH (Southington, CT/Southington) hurried Temple into an incompletion on the third down play.

The Greyhounds then drove on the ensuing series 69 yards in seven plays. After sophomore David CANNEY (Templeton, MA/Narragansett) returned the kickoff 24 yards to the 31, Humphrey rushed 11 yards on keeper on the first play and hit junior wide receiver Joey FABIANO (Westwood, MA/Westwood) for 14, eight yards on back-to-back plays. Canney then fired a 23-yard option play touchdown pass to Fabiano. Senior placekicker Jon EISELE (Lower Gwynedd, PA/Vermont Academy) kicked the conversion for a 7-3 lead.

The teams traded interceptions, first Martino picking off Temple at the Greyhounds 31, and then the Warriors sophomore corner Sam Belvines returned the favor on the first play going the other way for 34 yards and touchdown (Garvey kicked the conversion) to give Merrimack at 10-7 advantage.

And, then Woodward scampered 75 yards on the second play of the ensuing series (Eisele converted) as the Greyhounds regained the lead, 14-10, with 3:48 left. Woodard is now the only back in Greyhounds history to have more than one run of 70+ yards from scrimmage. Accomplished just eight times in their history Woodard has done it twice---also running 75 yards for a score against Saint Anselm (9-15-07).

Merrimack completed the offensive first period dirving 60 yards in just four plays to again take the lead, 17-14. Temple completed passes of eight yards to senior tight end Sean McFee), 10 yards to junior wide receiver Jawara Loftis and finally 39 yards to Laham for the score. Garvey kicked the conversion.

Eisele would kick two second-period field goals, the second with just two seconds remaining to usher the Greyhounds in front 20-17 at the halftime break. It was the first time in his career kicking two in one game.

In a long time-consuming 16-play, 56-yard drive Humphrey and Woodard led the Greyhounds into range for Eisele. Woodward rushed six times for 24 yards and Humphrey completed four-of-five passes for 32 yards. A second interception by Martino and subsequent 22-yard return to the Assumption 49 yard line set the Greyhounds up for the go-ahead points.
Humphrey completed passes of 24 yards to Beers, 15 yards to sophomore tight end Matt THIBEAULT (Fitchburg, MA/Fitchburg/Worcester Academy) to highlight the march. Eisele kicked a 20-yard field goal with 25 seconds left but a Merrimack personal foul penalty (roughing the kicker) set the Hounds up with a first and-goal at the one. Eisele kicked the field goal again from 20 yards after two rushes and an incomplete pass failed to find the endzone.

Merrimack took the lead with a third-period touchdown as Temple connecteed with Loftis on an 11-yard slant (Garvey converted) with 7:32 remaining and then added insurance in the fourth period as Garvey kicked a 34-yard field goal and sophomore running back Mike Young scored from two yards out with 2:18 left in the fourth period.

Temple completed passes of 10 yards to Loftis, 10 yards to senior tight end Ryan Salter and finally 11 more yards to Loftis for the score in the third period.

A fumble recovery by Belvines stopped the Greyhounds on the ensuing series and started the Warriors on a 13-play, 55-yard drive culminating in the Garvey field goal. Temple found Laham for 14 yardsm Salter for 10, Laham for 17 more and 12 yards to junior wide receiver Chris McNeill to highlight the march.

A Temple-to-Laham 45-yard pass play on a third-and-seven play to the Assumption two-yard line set up the final Merrimack touchdown.

OTHER GREYHOUND NEWS

STUDENT-ATHLETE CANDLELIGHT SERVICE: What has become a fast growing tradition at Assumption College, the Greyhounds staged their ninth annual Student-Athlete Candlelight Service in the Chapel of the Holy Spirit last Thursday (September 11, 2008).

The purpose of the event, born out of a dream and initial groundwork of the late Brother Robert Beaulac, A.A., nine years ago, is to unite all of the student-athletes and coaches at the College and declare their intentions to be held to the highest standards of personal integrity and honor.

Sportsmanship, a selfless sense of behavior, and a promise to their teammates, school and fans, whom they represent, that they will strive for a standard of excellence that reflects the dedication and honor of all members of the college community. The program concluded with all student-athletes reciting the Assumption College Student-Athlete Honor Code together.

Scripture readings were made by women's basketball senior captain BETHANY PLASSKI (Fall River, MA/Durfee) and men's lacrosse junior captain MIKE SJOGREN (Leiceester, MA/Saint John's). Two student-athletes reflected on their experiences: women's cross country/track captain HEATHER GOSTYLA (Bloomfield, CT/NW Catholic) and baseball senior JEFF BARBALE (Charlton, MA/Saint Peter-Marian).
