Boxscore

MANSFIELD, Pa. – The Cornell sprint football team used a stifling defense and an impressive running game to earn a 20-0 victory over Mansfield this afternoon. With the win, the Big Red evened its record a 1-1 on the season.

Cornell held the Mountaineers to just 61 yards of total offense, thanks in large part to a run defense that allowed just eight yards on the ground. John Parke registered a team-high seven tackles, including two for a loss and a sack, while Chris Lamont and Tim Dooley had four tackles apiece. The Big Red also registered three interceptions, one each from John Mackintosh, Ted Alexander and Chris Fieschko, to go along with two fumble recoveries.

The Big Red netted 352 yards of total offense and was led by running back DJ Schiavetta with 115 yards rushing, while quarterback Elliot Corey ran for 111 yards.

Schiavetta scored Cornell's first two touchdowns, the first coming with exactly 3:00 remaining in the first quarter as scampered 20 yards to the end zone. Daren Phillips added the extra point to make it a 7-0 game. Schiavetta scored again late in the second quarter on an 11-yard rush and Phillips added the PAT to push Cornell's lead to 14-0.

Corey ended the scoring for the game with a 20-yard run of his own just five minutes into the third quarter to account for the 20-0 final.

The Big Red is back in action next weekend as it travels to Annapolis, Md., to take on Navy at Rip Miller Field on Friday, Oct. 2 at 7 p.m.
