Quincy, IL - The Calumet College Sprint Football team traveled to Quincy University for their second away game of the season and ended the trip with a dominant 46-7 win over the Hawks.
How it Happened
The Crimson Wave kicked off to the Hawks and ended their run after 5 plays when Isiah Byrd intercepted a Quincy pass. The Wave's offense took a while in the 1st Quarter to get going, but the defense kept Quincy at bay. In the final minutes, Blaze Cano made an 8-yard pass to Lauren Ruth to score the first touchdown of the game with a good extra points kick from Christian Price to give the Wave a 7-0 lead. In the quarter's final seconds, Cano passed again for a touchdown but this time to Claijuan Cash to give the Wave a 13-0 lead.
In the 2nd Quarter, CCSJ scored their 3rd touchdown after a Pick 6 from Jaquan Bridges as Quincy's pass bounced off the Hawks' helmet in their own endzone. Price's kick was good, and the Crimson Wave made a quick 20-0 lead. The Wave scored again as Price added 3 points to the scoreboard with a 20-yard field goal to go into the half with a 23-0 lead.
