NEW WILMINGTON, Pa.--The Westminster College football program raced out to a 34-0 first quarter lead over visiting Hiram and never looked back Saturday afternoon at Memorial Field inside Harold Burry Stadium, posting a 76-0 Senior Recognition Day win.

Saturday was Westminster's second shutout of the year. The Titan defense allowed just 147 yards of total offense while racking up 7.0 tackles for loss and 4.0 sacks, forcing three fumbles and snagging a pair of interceptions. Hiram had three of its 14 drives finish in Westminster territory. All three were snuffed out on downs. The Titans scored 34 points off turnovers.

Six different offensive players scored touchdowns Saturday. Westminster scored on all seven of its red zone chances.
Westminster finished with seven rushing scores. Junior Clayton Cannon (Parkland, Fla., Marjory Stoneman Douglas) ran 10 times for 69 yards and had three rushing touchdowns. It was the first three rushing touchdown game for Westminster since Ryan Gomes scored three times in a 41-6 win over Thiel on Oct. 15, 2022. Senior Demere White (Manalapan, N.J., DePaul Catholic) ran for a pair of scores, finishing with seven carries for 28 yards.

Sophomore Brite Cannon (Parkland, Fla., Monarch) had six catches for 107 yards, hauling in a 50-yard touchdown from freshman Quentin Goode (Aliquippa, Pa., Aliquippa) 4:08 into the first quarter. It was his seventh receiving touchdown in 2025. Goode finished 11-of-14 for 132 yards.
