l home game against the College of New Jersey. The seniors were honored and the Captains looked to continue their outstanding level of play. Despite a comeback bid from the College of New Jersey, the Captains held them off and won 24-21, marking their sixth straight win and maintaining their undefeated record in conference play. The Captains began the game with the football. A run from Fifth Year Senior Ty Crabb and an 18-yard reception from Freshman running back Gunner White put the Captains in the College of New Jersey territory. The ten play, 78 yard drive was capped off with a 32-yard touchdown pass from Junior quarterback Matt Dzierski to Freshman wide receiver Trey Hayes. On the College of New Jersey’s first play on offense, Junior defensive back Shawn Hamilton intercepted a pass, giving the Captains offense a chance to extend the lead. The ensuing possession was concluded with a field goal from Junior kicker Ryan Castle which gave the Captains an early 10-0 lead. A series of punts from both TCNJ and the Captains kept the score at 10-0 heading into the second quarter. Completions to Trey Hayes and to Senior wide receiver Xander Jedlick put the Captains deep into TCNJ’s territory. A 23yard pass to Trey Lancaster extended the Captains lead to 17. This lead went into halftime, giving the Captains a more than comfortable lead to coast onto. (continued on page8)
