LOCK HAVEN, PA – Cory McFadden rushed for 146 yards and two touchdowns
to lead Kutztown  to a 30-10 Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference
crossover victory over Lock Haven Saturday night. 
            McFadden ran the ball 15 times and scored on runs of 79 and
21 yards.  Elfren Quiles caught five passes for 77 yards and two
touchdowns, tying the single-season school record for TD catches.  Kyel
Spotts was 11-of-20 for 154 yards and two touchdowns. 
            KU’s defense picked off three Lock Haven passes. Brian
Bingnear led KU with 12 tackles and had one of the interceptions.   
            Ilio DiPaolo completed 11-of-24 passes for 85 yards for LHU.
 He also led the team with 36 rushing yards.

             McFadden scored on the first play from scrimmage on a
79-yard run, Kutztown’s longest run from scrimmage since Emneko
Sweeney’s school record 91 yard run in 1998. 
            Mike Grosso’s first career interception set up Kutztown’s
next score.  The defensive end tipped Ilio DiPaolo’s pass at the line
and intercepted it.  Spotts connected with Larry Baumgardner on a
35-yard pass to set up McFadden’s second TD run, a 21-yard scamper. 
             Lock Haven got on the board late in the second quarter. 
DiPaolo engineered a 48-yard, seven-play drive, capped with his
four-yard TD pass to Rafael Smith.  The extra point made it 14-7 with 57
seconds left. 
            KU, however, stretched its lead before the half.  KU drove
58 yards on seven plays, including a 25-yard pass from Spotts to Quiles
as time expired in the first half.  It was the seventh time in nine
games this season in which KU scored in the final minute of the first half. 
            Lock Haven had to settle for a field goal midway through the
third after taking over deep in KU territory.  A punt went off the back
of a KU player and LHU recovered at the six yardline.  Four plays later,
Marc Domonkos hit a 27-yard field goal to make it 21-10 with 3:53 left
in the third. 
            Kutztown bounced right back.  The Golden Bears marched down
the field, chewing up 5:34 on 11 plays, capped by a  20 yard pass from
Spotts to Quiles.  The TD catch was the junior receivers’ 10th of the
season, tying the single-season record held by three other players (Rich
Hamilton in 2000, Mark Steinmeyer and Dom Mele both in 1991). 
            Brian Bingnear picked off DiPaolo on LHU’s next play and KU
went right back to clock killing mode.  The Golden Bears embarked on a
13-play, 55 yard drive that claimed 7:40 off the clock.  Steve Sandberg
capped it with a 20-yard field goal with 4:08 to play.
