WILMINGTON, Ohio - The University of Mount Union, ranked No. 2 in the most recent D3football.com Top 25 Poll, gained 535 yards of offense in a 63-6 victory over the Wilmington College football team in an Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC) contest played at Williams Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
The Fightin' Quakers' defense earned a stop on the first drive of the game as Cory Barnett's 43-yard fied goal sailed wide right. The Purple Raiders responded with an interception of Kyle Barrett and scored eight plays later. Leading 7-0, Mount Union would score on its next four drives that were only tarnished by two botched extra point tries (one block and one bad snap).
Wilmington took over trailing 33-0 and engineered a 12-play, 75-yard drive capped by a Barrett touchdown up the middle to Itika Wynn Jr. on 4th-and-15. Unfortunately for the Quakers, the point-after attempt was blocked and returned for two points. Using that momentum, Mount Union scored one final time in the first half as D'Angelo Fulford connected with Derrick Harvey for a second touchdown with 1:08 on the clock.
Mount Union scored three touchdowns in the second half to seal the victory.
The Purple Raiders finished with 535 yards including 298 passing and 237 rushing. Wilmington had 156 total yards of offense.
