The Rams defense gave the offensive unit great field position all afternoon while forcing two 1st quarter turnovers. Petersburg did not get a first down until midway thru the 2nd quarter.
Matt Hummel and Liam Walters combined for a big hit forcing a fumble that was recovered by D'Andre Thompson at midfield to setup the Harris end run for a score. Mcginity added an interception on the Crimson Wave's next possession.
McGginity had two rushing touchdowns in the 1st half to help Lafayette to a 19-0 halftime lead. Junior John Douglass set the first McGinity touchdown with a 31-yard run to the Petersburg 16-yard line. McGinity used a great push by the middle of offensive line (Ian McManus, Mitch Barrick, and Coleman Goad) to walk-in for a 6-yard run to give the Rams a 13-0 lead.
On the next drive, McGinity connected with Brandon Villanueva for 36 yards and a 16-yard run by Douglass setup a 1st-and-goal for Lafayette at the two yard line. McGinity powered in from two yards to extend the lead to 19-0.
Lafayette put the game away with two quick scores after the halftime break. They took the second half kickoff and drove 68-yards in six plays with McGinity scoring his third rushing touchdown. The big play was a 26-yard run by Douglass who refused to go down. Douglass finished with 100 yards rushing. Minutes later, Kyle Johnson scooted around the left end for a 37-yard touchdown run. The 2-point conversion made the score 35-0 starting the running clock.
McGinity threw deep to Villanueva who made a great two-handed grab between two defenders for a 79-yard touchdown reception. The senior quarterback completed 3 of 4 passes for 115 yards and a touchdown with all three completions going to Villanueva. Joey Kraegenbrink ended the scoring with a 40 yard run with under two minutes to play.
Petersburg scored their only touchdown with 6:22 remaining in the game on a 28-yard run by Daquan Smith. The Crimson Wave drove 65 yards in six plays with Smith gaining 45 yards on the drive.
