Box Score LOCK HAVEN, Pa. – The Lock Haven University football team was edged by visiting Gannon University, 13-7 tonight in a PSAC West defensive-grudge match.

Just 3:09 into the game Alex Papson put Gannon (2-7, 1-5 PSAC West) up, 7-0, on a three-yard TD run that capped off a seven-play, 81-yard drive.

Lock Haven (0-9, 0-6 PSAC West) failed to score on its first possession of the game, but put points on the board early in the first quarter when George Christas (Dallastown, Pa./Dallastown) returned an interception 41 yards for a touchdown. The TD-interception came on Gannon's second possession of the game.

It marked the first time a Bald Eagle returned an interception for a TD since LHU and Gannon met last year.

Not enough can be said about Lock Haven's defensive effort as the Bald Eagles came up huge for the second straight week.

The Haven recorded two interceptions and forced three total turnovers in the game.

Ryan Good (Tower City, Pa./Williams Valley) made a game-high 11 tackles to lead LHU.

Ben Snyder (Ickesburg, Pa./West Perry) had eight tackles, four tackles-for-a-loss and two sacks.

Tyrai Anderson (Harrisburg, Pa./Bishop McDevitt) also had an interception for The Haven.

Quarterback Jarrett Kratzer (Lewistown, Pa./Indian Valley) was 17-for-28 for a 153 yards in his 22nd career start.

Three different Bald Eagles made a trio of catches and Brandon Brader (Bethlehem, Pa./Liberty) rushed for 86 yards on 15 carries. 

Lock Haven returns to action next Saturday, November 3 when the Bald Eagles travel to Slippery Rock at 1 p.m.
