Cal, W&J remain undefeated
Junior quarterback Justin Heacock tossed five first half touchdowns as the 12th-ranked Washington & Jefferson football team rolled to a 63-22 victory over Saint Vincent College in a Presidents’ Athletic Conference game Saturday afternoon at Cameron Stadium.
Coming off of a narrow victory last week at Geneva, the Presidents provided little drama in Saturday’s game with the Bearcats. W&J found the end zone nine times and amassed 511 yards of total offense in the victory.
Senior wide receiver Andrew Wolf snagged a 28-yard touchdown pass from Heacock on the game’s opening possession. The point after by sophomore kicker Sean Disbrow gave W&J an early 7-0 lead just 1:36 seconds into the contest.
In addition to Heacock’s big day through the air, EJ Thompson finished with 122 yards and two scores on just 13 carries. Huss added 62 yards on six rushes and added 63 additional yards on two kick returns. Wolf finished with nine catches for 142 yards and two receiving scores. Skalos and O’Brien hauled in a pair of touchdown catches.
