Tim football; Stepinac doesn’t make it over last hurdle

A little track analogy. Canisius 23-Stepinac 10, after Stepinac led 10-6 at the end of the third period.

The game was dominated by two things: the wind and the Canisius kicker, who was selected as the offensive player of the game. Amongst other things (like great kickoffs) he had three field goals, including a 60 yarder!

Stepinac had a chance to win at the end. Trailing 16-10 with two minutes left, they had first down on the Canisius 20, but couldn’t go anywhere and on fourth down, threw a pick 6, which made the final score a little bit out of step with the actual game.

Considering the weather conditions and travelling to Mitchel Field on Long Island, Stepinac had a good turnout of supporters.

The end.

    Oops! Typo. I corrected it – it was 60 yards.

  3. The only good thing we can say about this game is that the Crusaders won! The only problem is that it was the wrong Crusaders! It was the Canisius Crusaders, and not the Stepinac Crusaders!!!!!

    A great season and a heartbreaking loss…played like champions though, from beginning to end. Good work, Tim!
