East Stroudsburg, Pa. - East Stroudsburg's PSAC-best passing attack let it fly against visiting Millersville Saturday. Matt Soltes threw five first half touchdown passes, and the Warriors handed the Marauders a 34-2 defeat.

East Stroudsburg (4-3, 3-1 PSAC East) entered the game averaging nearly 380 passing yards per game, and Soltes quickly added to his PSAC-leading touchdown total by throwing for a touchdown on each of his team's first three drives. He boosted his season total to 37 by game's end. Meanwhile, the Marauders threw an interception, lost two fumbles, turned the ball over on downs and punted it away three times in the first half alone. Soltes finished the first half 17-of-25 for 230 yards while Millersville's J.J. Paige was 0-for-2 with a pick and four sacks.

Millersville's defense slowed the Warriors significantly in the second half but the damage was done. Millersville held the Warriors without a score in the second and limited Soltes to 5-of-11 passing for 76 yards. Paige went 10-for-17 for 50 yards in the second half. Millersville also held ESU to just six yards rushing in the second half.

The Marauders' lone score came from the defense. Evan Stahl's 54-yard punt following the first drive of the third quarter was downed at the ESU 7. Soltes was sacked on first down by Drew Seaburg, and a wayward snap was recovered in the end zone by the Warriors, giving the Marauders two points.

While the defense was much improved in the second, the Marauder offense could not find traction. Marcel Mingo returned the kickoff following the safety 62 yards to the East Stroudsburg 10. But the Marauders went in reverse, losing three yards on a rush and tossing to incomplete passes before Stahl missed a 31-yard field goal. The Marauder offense never again entered ESU territory.

Millersville totaled four sacks with Sene Polamalu's two leading the way. Logan Kinser made a season-high seven stops and a tackle for loss. Sean Dugan recorded a sack, bringing his tackles for loss total to 8.5.

Millersville, now 0-7, has three of its final four games at home. The Marauders host Lock Haven on Homecoming Saturday on Oct. 24.
