Gannon Blanks Marauders

Box Score

Erie, Pa. - Millersville's first-ever game in Erie, Pa., is one it would soon like to forget. Gannon scored two special teams touchdowns, intercepted Dan Miller twice and sacked him nine times in a 47-0 win over the Marauders Saturday afternoon. 

Gannon's Justin Caliste was a one-man Marauder wrecking crew. In less than a three-minute stretch in the second quarter, Caliste returned a kickoff for 66 yards, broke a 70-yard touchdown run and took a punt back 85 yards for a third touchdown. 

Caliste's three scores were a part of a 23-point second quarter for Gannon, which also included a Millersville safety. Gannon improved to 1-2 on the season. 

The Marauders, now 1-2, managed just 103 yards of total offense. It marked the first time the team was shutout since Sept. 22, 2007.  Miller gained 56 yards on the ground, but lost 70 yards on sacks and negative runs. He was 7-of-13 passing for 48 yards. 

Miller's counterpart, Daniel Tapscott, completed 13-of-24 passes for 110 yards. He was picked off once by Brian Knell, who now has three interceptions and one in each game this season. 

The Marauders' special teams play had them ranked first in the PSAC in punt and kick coverage after two weeks, but along with two touchdowns allowed, Anthony Kassab missed two field goals frmo 37 and 31 yards and had a 35-yarder blocked. 

Jordan Rigby, Ryan Christian and Pat Maloney all totaled seven tackles. Reggie Slaton and Steve Roberts both recovered fumbles. 

The Millersville defense has now generated eight turnovers in three games. 

Millersville travels to nationally-ranked Bloomsburg on Sept. 24 for the PSAC Eastern Division opener.
