WEST POINT, N.Y. – Cornell sprint football had a tall task Friday evening as it looked to jump back into the win column against an Army squad that has not lost in over two years. The Black Knights used a 35-point outburst in the second quarter to down the Big Red 49-7 at Shea Stadium.
 
The turnover battle was again the decider as the Big Red failed to be thrifty with the ball for the second consecutive game. Cornell turned the ball over five times, including three – two interceptions and one fumble – in the decisive second quarter.
 
The Black Knights (3-0) fast-paced aerial attack proved lethal as quarterback J.J. Wartski dissected the Big Red. He went 19-of-25 for 266-yards and five touchdowns.
 
Neither of the Big Red's young signal callers could find much traction against the Black Knights defense corps. Sophomore Rob Pannullo went 4-of-19 for 58-yards and two interceptions, adding 14-yards on ten rushing attempts. Freshman Karriem Royster found a little more success, going 8-of-23 for 75-yards and one interception, adding 31-yards on the ground.
 
Senior linebacker Noah Shephard led the way on the defensive end for the Big Red. He had 12 tackles – five solo and seven assists – including one sack. Freshman Dominic LaBell added eight tackles – four solo and four assists – with an interception.
 
Sophomore John Zelek had the Big Red's lone score, a one-yard touchdown plunge with 5:01 remaining in the fourth quarter.
 
Cornell (1-2) will look to right the ship next Friday as it completes its three-game road swing with a trip to Princeton. Kickoff between the Big Red and Tigers will be at 7 p.m.
