URSULINE DOMINATES YOUNGSTOWN FOE

By Tim Corso 

YOUNGSTOWN OH- Ursuline rolled past East 46-0 in a Steel Valley Conference clash on Friday night.

The Irish set the tone early on a deflected pass that C.J. Frasco picked off and took back 35 yards to the house. A successful two-point conversion gave them the early 8-0.

After an unsuccessful onside kick, Ursuline forced a Golden Bear three-and-out, then proceeded to block the punt. The Irish capped off the ensuing drive with an 8-yard Christian Lynch touchdown scamper.

A mistake-filled night for East couldn’t have gone worse. East quarterback Andrew Blackmon was the victim of his receivers drops all night. The second big one resulted in another Frasco interception that brought Ursuline inside the redzone. From there, the route was on.

For the Irish, methodical drives showed the versatility of its offense throughout the span of the game. Showing its squad’s quick strike ability, D.C. Ferrell and Jy’Quise Liason broke big plays on back-to-back plays.

Ferrell caught a deep pass from Jack Ericson for what seemed to be a 56-yard touchdown before a holding call brought it back. Liason then responded with his own score of 66 yards to help pad the Ursuline lead.

Five different Irish reached paydirt on the win, they included: Frasco, Lynch (2), Devonte Taylor, Liaison, and Joe Balog.

Ursuline (4-0, 1-0 SVC) will host Warren Harding (1-3) next Friday, September 15 at 7 p.m. at Stambaugh Stadium.
