In his first start, Washington & Jefferson sophomore wide receiver Andrew Wolf had nine receptions for 214 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Presidents to a 37-12 win over St. John Fisher in a non-conference game at Growney Stadium Saturday afternoon.

A pair of Wolf’s touchdowns broke the game open in the second quarter. W&J quarterback Jacob Adams connected with Wolf on a 15-yard score, then from 46 yards less than two minutes later to give the Presidents a 23-0 lead with 6:32 left in the second quarter.

St. John Fisher cut into its deficit when Pat Galer hauled in a 25-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Joshua Michels to bring the score to 23-6 with 7:35 remaining in the third quarter.

But W&J answered immediately, putting together an eight-play, 70-yard drive that finished with another 15-yard touchdown connection between Wolf and Adams to push the lead back to 30-6.

Adams completed 13 of 20 passes for 286 and the three scores to Wolf. Washington High School graduate Jordan West had 106 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries.

The Presidents, who had 491 total yards and were 6 of 13 on their third down conversions, open Presidents’ Athletic Conference play at home against Thiel next Saturday.

Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m.

Duquesne 45, Lock Haven 0: Nehari Crawford caught two touchdown passes and returned a punt for another score and Duquesne defeated Division-II Lock Haven 45-0 on Saturday.

The Dukes scored first on A.J. Hines’ 28-yard run before Daniel Parr threw 44 yards to Crawford for a TD midway through the first quarter. Crawford scored on a 44-yard punt return early in the second quarter and the Dukes added two more touchdowns – a 1-yard run by Lucas D’Orazio and Stew Allen’s 9-yard reception – to lead 35-0 at halftime.

Crawford, with four catches for 104 yards in the first half, made one more catch in the third quarter, a 36-yard score from Brett Brumbaugh. Parr was 10-of-15 passing for 197 yards and two TDs with the Dukes rolling up 460 yards offense while holding the Bald Eagles to 195.

Lock Haven lost two fumbles and was intercepted twice.

Duquesne (1-1), which lost at Massachusetts last week, has won 11 consecutive home openers.

Dayton 49, Robert Morris 28: Backup Jack Cook threw two touchdowns and Dayton defeated Robert Morris 49-28 in the season opener for both teams Saturday.

Starter Alex Jeske was in a groove before getting hurt and completed six of seven passes for 82 yards and a score before leaving. Jeske got hurt after being tackled on a 4-yard run to put the ball at the Robert Morris 5-yard line. Richie Warfield took the handoff from Cook and carried it in for the score to make it 21-7 and Robert Morris never threatened. Warfield scored twice on the ground and once through the air.

Tucker Yinger started the scoring with a 44-yard run to put the Flyers up 7-0. The Colonials tied it on their first drive when Jimmy Walker threw 15 yards to Matthew Gonzalez. Jeske then led Dayton on a 7-play, 61-yard drive that ended with his 31-yard scoring pass to Adam Trautman to make it 14-7.

Yinger had 11 carries for 139 yards and the Flyers had 272 yards on the ground. Walker threw for 219 yards and two scores for Robert Morris.
