Bloomsburg Rushes Past Millersville in Football

MILLERSVILLE-- Bloomsburg University's freshmen running back duo of Kenny Domzalski (Milford/Delaware Valley) and Derrick Price (Burlington City, NJ/Burlington) combined to rush for 251 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Huskies to a 49-24 win over Millersville on Saturday. The win was the 11th straight for the Huskies dating back to last season.

As a team the Huskies rushed for a season-high 428 yards, while gaining 511 yards in total offense.

Bloomsburg took a 14-0 lead after one quarter when Price scored on an 11-yard run midway through the period and Ryan Barr (Fayetteville, GA/Starrs Mill) caught an eight-yard pass from Dan Latorre (Elysburg/Southern Columbia). The TD throw followed an interception by Andre Ellis (Lancaster/Manheim).

Millersville got on the board in the second period when Brad Lantz caught a 23-yard pass from Bill Shirk to make it 14-7. On the ensuing kickoff, Bloomsburg's Jesse Cooper (Sewell, NJ/Washington Twp) returned the kick 91-yards for a score to make it 21-7. It was the longest kickoff return in Cooper's career, breaking the mark of 90 he had in a game last season.

Once again though, the Marauders were able to move the ball downfield and got a two-yard pass from Shirk to Matthew Booker with 34 seconds before half making it a 21-14 game at the break.

The Huskies took the second kickoff and marched 61-yards in eight plays with Latorre hitting Kyle Ream (Elloittsburg/West Perry) with a 20-yard pass to a 28-14 advantage. On Millersville's next drive it once again made it a one-touchdown game at 28-21 when Booker scored on a one-yard run.

Following the kickoff, Domzalski needed just one play to put Bloomsburg back up by two touchdowns when he rambled 63-yards for a score to make it 35-21 with 8:08 left in the third.

Millersville, though, once again cut into the lead when John Banzhof connected on a 50-yard field goal to make it a 35-24 lead for Bloomsburg.

In the fourth quarter, the Huskies put together two scoring drives with Price racing 38-yards for a score and Latorre scoring on a seven-yard quarterback keeper.

Domzalski finished 141 yards on 11 carries, while Price gained 110 on 14 rushes and scored twice. Defensively, Dan Tillotson (Springfield, VA/Robert E. Lee) had nine tackles.

Bloomsburg will host East Stroudsburg next week with kickoff set for noon. The game will be aired on the SportsFever TV network.
