MONCTON, NB — Sackville’s Mount Allison Mounties prevailed 23-21 in a back and forth AUS game on Saturday, Sept. 25. The game was played before 3,500 fans at the Rocky Stone Field in Moncton as part of the Scotiabank CFL Touchdown Atlantic weekend in Moncton. The win was the first for the Mounties in 23 tries against Saint Mary’s and it brings Mount Allison to 2-1 on the season.
The Mounties drew first blood on a pair of field goals by kicker John Szilagyi in the first quarter. Saint Mary’s answered back early in the 2nd quarter when Micah Brown found Craig Leger for a 41-yard touchdown. Szilagyi kicked his 3rd field goal of the game half way through the 2nd quarter, giving the Mounties the lead back at 9-7. Saint Mary’s answered back six minutes later when Devon Jones scored with a five-yard run.
With Saint Mary’s leading 14-9, Mounties’ defensive back Bradley Daye intercepted Jones with under a minute to play in the half. One play later Jake Hotchkiss hooked up with All-Canadian receiver Gary Ross for a 44-yard touchdown. Ross had six receptions for 82 yards before leaving the game with a hand injury. This leaves Ross tied 2nd all-time for most career receptions in CIS history. The Mounties added a safety before the end of the half to lead 18-14 as the teams went to the locker rooms.
In the second half, Szilagyi kicked his 4th field goal of the game, this one for 29 yards to give the Mounties a 21-14 lead. During the third quarter the Huskies conceded a team safety with Mount Allison gaining another two points, leaving the score at 23-14.
From there the Mounties’ defense closed out the game and even though Saint Mary’s scored to pull within two as time expired, it wasn’t enough.
