10/28/00            loss                   Occidental d. PP, 27-15

 

The Sagehens traveled to Eagle Rock last weekend for a night game and fell short to the Tigers from Occidental.  The loss to Oxy marks the first time since 1994 that

 the Hens have lost three games in a row.  The Sagehens got down early in the contest as the first quarter of play ended with Oxy owning a 14-0 lead.  The tide would

 turn for the Hens, however, as they rallied to take a 15-14 lead going into the fourth quarter of action behind two touchdown passes from quarterback Matt LaCoss

 and a safety credited to Ari Polychronopolous.  The Tigers, though, would put two more scores on the board in the last stanza to come away with the victory.  Despite

 8 turnovers on the day, the Hens managed to outgain the Tigers by 24 yards on the day.

Ryan Hattersley had another busy day rushing the football, as he got the call 29 times and put up 98 yards on the evening.  Jonathan Samples carried the ball 7

times for the Sagehens, picking up 29 yards, and Matt LaCoss ran the ball 6 times for 20 yards.  LaCoss also split time at quarterback with Teohua Sanchez, as he

completed 8 of 19 passes for 119 yards and two touchdown passes, both to senior Brian Ferrette.  Sanchez threw the ball 11 times, completing 7 of those tosses for

54 yards. 

Multiple receivers caught balls for the Sagehens, but leading the charge were Brian Ferrette and Jeremy Lim.  Two of Ferrette’s 3 receptions resulted in the 2 Hen touchdowns on the day.  His 3 catches gained a total of 61 yards.  Lim hauled in 3 balls on the night for a total of 33 yards.

Defensively, the Hens continued their stingy rush defense by again holding the opponent to under 100 yards on the ground, and again not giving up a score on the

ground.  Individual defensive leaders for the Hens were Khary Espy with 9 tackles and Ari Polychronopolous with 7 tackles, 3 of them going for a loss.

The Hens will wrap up the season at 1:00 this Saturday at home against the Stags from CMS.

Troyer noted, “We really needed that win.  We have a little momentum now for the final weeks of the season.  We were forced to play without Cavagnolo for much of the first

 half because of foul trouble and that allowed Chapman to get a 2 goal lead.  After we came back to full strength in the last period, we were able to dominate the action.”
