Bears
win shootout; UAA title hopes alive
The football Bears and Case Western Reserve University combined for 1,030 yards of total offense as the Red and Green held on for a 49-42 University Athletic Association win in the highest-scoring game in WUSTL history Oct. 26 at Francis Field. The win evened the Bears record at 4-4 and gave them the inside track on a second-straight UAA title with a 2-0-league record. Case Reserve quarterback Eli Grant set UAA records for attempts, completions, yards and touchdowns, but the Bears got 320 yards through the air and another 190 on the ground to hold on for the win. WUSTL freshman defensive back Joe Rizzo recorded nearly every defensive statistic possible -- four tackles, a sack, an interception, a blocked punt, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. Nathan Szep finished 22 of 37 for 320 yards and two touchdowns and freshman A.C. Dike, playing in just his second career game, carried 24 times for 110 yards and a touchdown. Other updates Freshman Rob Weeks scored his fifth goal of the season in the 87th minute as the mens soccer team upended the University of Rochester 1-0 Oct. 25 at Francis Field. On Oct. 27, Brandeis scored an unassisted goal in the 95th minute to beat the Bears, 1-0, in overtime. The womens soccer squad stayed hot in the UAA race, sweeping a pair of home games Oct. 25 and 27. The Bears beat No. 21 University of Rochester, the defending UAA champ, 2-1, Oct. 25. Two days later, WUSTL defeated Bran-deis,1-0, to improve to 8-4-3 on the year, 3-1-2 in the UAA. The mens and womens cross country team will travel to the UAA Championships in New York City Nov. 2. After having the week off, the No. 1 volleyball team will travel to Springfield, Ohio to compete in the Wittenberg National Quad Nov. 1-2. The Bears will take on No. 3 Juniata College today at 8 p.m. as head coach Rich Luenemann will coach his 1,000th career match. |
