(Lock
Haven, Pa.) - The
Lock Haven University of Pennsylvania football team topped the Bald Eagle
Alumni team, 21-20, in the annual Crimson and White Scrimmage held this
afternoon at Hubert Jack Stadium.
The Bald Eagle squad hit paydirt first, as quarterback Tim Storino
(Pittsburgh/Bethel Park) and receiver John Caldwell (Virginia Beach,
Va./Fork Union Military Academy) connected from 20 yards out.
Sophomore Mark Barns (Bloomsburg/Bloomsburg) cleared the uprights
for the extra point to give the Bald Eagles the 7-0 edge.
At 10:42 in the second, Robert Carey (North Braddock/Woodland Hills)
intercepted a pass attempt by Bob McLaughlin ('95) and weaved his way
through traffic for a 72-yard return for touchdown. Again, the point after attempt by Barns was good, putting
Lock Haven ahead of the Alumni, 14-0.
The Alumni defense jumpstarted the team of former players, however, set
off by a 23-yard interception return for touchdown by Dave Laudeman ('91)
with just 52 seconds remaining in the half.
After the halftime rest, McLaughlin connected with Matt Kerstetter
('00) for a 23-yard pick up to the Bald Eagles' 13-yard line on a fourth
down situation to keep the Alumni team alive.
Two plays later, McLaughlin again found Kerstetter, this time for a
six-yard touchdown pass. After a
good two-point conversion play between the same two players, the Alumni had
tied the game at 14-14.
Jason Kundtz ('99) gave the Alumni team its only lead of the
contest late in the fourth quarter, reeling in a 23-yard pass from McLaughlin
to make the score 20-14 in favor of the former Haven players with 2:00 left in
the ball game.
Back
on the offensive, the current Bald Eagles promptly executed a successful
two-minute drill, as Storino completed a pass to Scott Anderson (Cortland,
Ohio/Lakeview). Anderson outran the opponents for the clutch 75-yard
touchdown reception with 1:24 remaining on the clock.
The point after kick by Barns was good, giving the Bald Eagles the
21-20 lead.
The
Alumni squad threatened and came within one yard in the final minute but could
not pull off the upset, as LHU's all-time passing leader Bob McLaughlin sent
the ball deep to march the Alumni down the field.
In his last play from scrimmage, McLaughlin completed a pass to Lester
Smeal ('89) at the one-yard line as time expired.
