NEW WILMINGTON, Pa.--Junior Clayton Cannon (Parkland, Fla., Marjory Stoneman Douglas) ran for 105 yards and two touchdowns while sophomore Lamont Austin (Sharon, Pa., Sharon) snagged a pair of interceptions, helping Westminster College secure a 57-21 Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) victory over visiting Allegheny Saturday afternoon at Memorial Field inside Harold Burry Stadium.
Westminster improved to 5-3 overall and 4-2 in the PAC. Saturday marked the Titans' fourth-straight win over the Gators.
Cannon finished with 19 carries. His first touchdown, a 1-yard score, tied the game at 7-all with 6:40 to go in the first. His second, a 7-yard score, stretched the Titans' lead to 26-14 lead with just under six to go in the half. It was Cannon's second 100-plus yard rushing game this season.
The Titans went into halftime leading 29-21 after sophomore Andrew Caranna (Copley, Ohio, Revere) hit from 29 yards out at the end of the first half. He was true on all three field goal attempts. His first, a 21-yarder, cut Allegheny's lead to 14-10 with 1:18 left in the opening quarter. He drilled a career-long 39-yarder with 11:30 to go in the second, giving Westminster a 17-14 edge. Saturday was Caranna's second three field goal game of his career: he hit three last November against Grove City.
