(HALIFAX, N.S.) — The Atlantic University Sport Football conference kicked off the 2017 season with the host Saint Mary’s University Huskies defeating the StFX X-Men 38-23 Friday night from Huskies Stadium.

Huskies quarterback Kaleb Scott (Mount Albert, Ont.) paced SMU’s offence with 453 total yards (367 passing and 86 rushing) in the win.

The X-Men opened the scoring early in the 1st quarter on a 6-yard pass from quarterback Josh Millar (Ottawa, Ont.) to running back Jordan Socholotiuk (Fort McMurray, Alberta) for a 7-0 lead at the 12:55 mark. Jonathan Heidebrecht (Camrose, Alberta) added the PAT for the X-Men.

The Huskies answered back and trailed 7-3 on a 16-yard field goal by kicker Brian Hope (Port Coquitlan, BC) with 6:07 left in the quarter.

A StFX safety and a pick-6 by SMU’s defensive back Antoine Lyte-Myers (Scarborough, Ont) gave the Huskies a 13-7 lead after their successful 2-point conversion with 2:19 in the frame.

Another team safety for Saint Mary’s and a 63-yard pass and catch touchdown from Scott to receiver Archelaus Jack (Toronto, Ont.)  pushed the Huskies up 22-7 halfway thru the second quarter.

StFX exploded for 14 points in 37 seconds on touchdown runs by Socholotiuk (21-yard) and a 1-yard plunge by quarterback Dylan Fisher (Elginburg, Ont.) as SMU trailed 22-21 with 2:01 left in the half.

Scott increased the Huskies’ lead to 29-21 with 19 seconds left in the half, connecting with wide receiver Josh Henry (Pickering, Ont.) in the back of the end zone on a 28-yard touchdown throw.

A Hope field goal (19-yarder) and a X-Men team safety were the only points in the third quarter as Saint Mary’s took a 32-23 lead into the fourth.

Hope added two more field goals in the final frame and SMU won 38-23.  Scott finished 26-47, good for 367 yards and two touchdowns and one interception.

StFX had 145 total passing yards (Millar 93 yards and Fisher with 52) while Socholotiuk gained 171 yards on 30 rushes.

SMU improves to 1-0 and has a BYE in Week 2.  QB Scott was named Subway Player of the game.

Montreal (37), Concordia (19) 

Source: U Sports, with files from Montreal Carabins 

Montreal, August 26, 2017 – On Friday night at the Loyola campus, the University of Montreal Carabins football team won its first victory of the season by winning 37-19 against the Concordia Stingers. The Blues exploded in attack in the first half and the defensive held firm during a renewed energy in the fourth quarter in order to open their season on a good note.

“We started well with good sequences in attack. Even if we give credit to the Stingers in the second half, we must believe that we thought the match was already over at that time. We will have to learn things from this lesson, “said Carabins head coach Danny Maciocia. “Despite this, it is an interesting performance, especially after such a short training camp.

The Stingers’ defense began the duel by stopping the Blues deep in their zone on a third try and less than a rod to cross, from the first moments of the match. However, the Carabins  prevented their opponents from entering the end zone. Forced to make a field goal, Concordia took the lead 3-0.

Samuel Caron (Civil Engineering, Polytechnique) quickly led his offensive in the pay zone and concluded with a touchdown pass to Kevin Kaya (Preparatory Year). The Carabins added a few moments later when Caron launched a long pass in the right-hand corner of the end zone to Raphaël Major-Dagenais (Preparatory Year) who made a beautiful catch for the major. It was a first career touchdown for the two young recipients of UdeM.

The two teams traded kicks in the second quarter, including 41-yards for Louis-Philippe Simoneau (Arts and Sciences) in the blue-white-black men’s camp. Two touchdowns completed the score and the Blues led 19-3 before retreating to the locker room.

The Montreal defense forced the locals to offer a third touchdown on the return of the half. On the push that followed, Caron joined Régis Cibasu (Administration, HEC Montréal) three times, the last for the major. Montreal led by 24 points. Ten minutes later, while all believed in Simoneau’s second placing, it was Major-Dagenais who decamped with the ball over 14 yards to register his second touchdown of the encounter, all on a fake game made at perfection.

“I did not know if I could reach the goal area, at some point on such a game I had to improvise and I was able to take advantage of the openings.

The Stingers managed to break through the wall of the Blues by scoring their first touchdown of the duel in the fourth quarter. After a few defensive penalties, Jean-Guy Rimpel crossed the last rod missing to add seven points to the table. That same Rimpel re-attacked three minutes later by completing a quick offensive sequence for Concordia. The Stingers continued to show their teeth at the end of the match, but the Carabins held on.

In the victory, Samuel Caron once again illustrated. A quarter of the Carabins completed 27 of his 38 assists for 338 yards and three touchdowns.

“At the beginning of the match, it was a bit fast, it’s often the case at the beginning of the season,” said Caron. We have left several games on the field, we will have to work hard to better execute for our next game.

Trenton Miller finished the night with 24 assists in 39 and 368 yards. Passengers Louis-Mathieu Normandin (Administration, HEC Montréal) and Régis Cibasu collected seven receptions each for 80- and 76-yard winnings, while Gabriel Parent (Certificate in Addictions) won 96 yards 19 litters.

It was also the evening of second-year player Raphael Major-Dagenais who collected his first two career touchdowns while accumulating 95 yards out of five catches. The agile receiver of the Carabins has impressed many by becoming a dangerous weapon very early in the encounter. He added 63 yards to the count by returning six kicks.

“I am pleased to have been able to seize the various opportunities that were available to me tonight,” said Major-Dagenais. I have to keep working to continue in the same direction. You may not know him, but I knew he could play several games like he did tonight, Caro added about his teammate.

The Carabins will already enjoy a week off before receiving the Rouge et Or de Laval at the CEPSUM on Saturday, September 9th at 2 pm.

Source: Saskatchewan Huskies

HAMILTON (August 25, 2017) – The McMaster Marauders secured a 22-10 preseason non-conference U SPORTS football victory over the Saskatchewan Huskies on Friday night at Ron Joyce Stadium in Hamilton.

McMaster’s Jackson White threw for 131 yards and hit Brett Ledingham for the game’s only passing touchdown in the second quarter.  Second-year running back Jordan Lyons  punched in a three-yard touchdown with 54 seconds remaining in the game.

Adam Preocanin was two for three in field goal attempts, registering his longest at 25 yards. Preocanin also missed a 47-yard attempt.

Saskatchewan’s Colton Klassen had a game high 115 yards rushing (on 11 carries) while McMaster’s Justice Allin posted 89 yards on 13 carries. Klassen scampered for 50 yards for the Huskies on the opening play of the game setting up an eventual eventual one-yard touchdown rush by Mason Nyus. That score put Saskatchewan on the board with a 7-0 score just minutes into the game.

McMaster scored 13 second-quarter points in a span of six minutes, which turned the game’s momentum and ultimately handed the Marauders the win. After a Preocanin field goal from 25 yards out, McMaster’s Nolan Putt intercepted a Saskatchewan pass with a short six-yard return. McMaster didn’t waste any time in capitalizing, with White hitting Ledingham on a 28-yard strike to push the score to 10-7 in the second quarter. Preocanin hit his second field goal from 22 yards to make the game 13-7 with four minutes remaining in the second quarter.

McMaster’s receiving core saw eight players contribute, with Tommy Nield leading the way with 44 yards receiving on three catches. Saskatchewan’s David Solie was the game’s top receiver with 96 yards on eight catches.

Huskies quarterbacks were a combined 23 for 44 with 256 passing yards. Fourth-year starter Kyle Siemen finished his two quarters of work throwing for 113 yards with 11 completions and one interception. Rookie Mason Nyhus was 12 for 25 with 143 yards passing and three interceptions.

Both teams will open the regular season next week. The Huskies travel to Winnipeg to meet the Manitoba Bisons to open the Canada West season on September 1, while the Marauders visit the Carleton Ravens in Ottawa on September 3 to open the OUA season.

Game Notes: This was the first time McMaster has hosted a preseason game at Ron Joyce Stadium. The last time the Marauders hosted a preseason tilt was in 1994 at the old Les Prince Field vs. Bishop’s University. It was the first ever meeting between McMaster and Saskatchewan in exhibition or regular season play.
