BRIDGEWATER's offense was hit
and miss for the majority of the game but a pair of fourth-quarter
touchdowns proved to be enough as the Bridgewater Eagles rounded
out the 2011 season with a come-from-behind 22-19 victory over
Catholic. Bridgewater scored on its first drive but was then held
scoreless until the fourth quarter as the Eagles were limited to
just 26 first-half plays. Carlos Gonzalez connected with Cliff
Woodard from 15 yards out on the final drive of the game to
cap off a three-play, 63 yard drive which took all of 20 seconds to
answer a Catholic score with under a minute to play. Senior
running back Anthony Carter scored the first touchdown of the game
and added a two-point conversion on the game's final score.
Carter rushed for 137 yards on 26 carries on the day as he cracked
the 1,000 yard barrier to lead the ODAC in rushing on the season
with 1,039 yards. It was a tale of two halves for the Eagles
defense as Bridgewater allowed 56 first-half plays from the
Cardinals before stymieing Catholic for the majority of the second
half in a 22-19 victory. Bridgewater's defense held Catholic to
just 21 yards in the third quarter before allowing a late
score. Senior defensive back Victor Williams posted eight
tackles, including two for a loss and a key fourth-quarter
interception to lead the Bridgewater Eagles defense in a 22-19
victory over Catholic. Williams picked off a Cordivari pass which
led to a Bridgewater score with less than eight minutes to play in
a high scoring final quarter. |
CATHOLIC did
a much better job in TOP this week, holding the ball for
29:06. The Cardinals were 2 of 3 on fourth down and 3 of 3
inside the red zone. Greg Cordivari notched his seventh
300-yard passing game of the season with 345 yards through the air.
He also became the first Cardinals signal caller since Keith Ricca
in 2008 to throw for 3,000 yards in a season, finishing with 3,282
yards, which are the second most in school history. For the
second time this season, Cordivari set the CUA record for attempts
in a game with 67. Mike Pitsenberger finished with 111
all-purpose yards, including 57 on the ground and 54 through the
air. Pitsenberger caught a team-high 11 passes. CUA
registered a season-high five sacks on the day, including 2.5 from
Vinny Cortese and 1.5 from Anthony Albanese. The Cardinals
also finished with 8.0 tackles for loss, led by Cortese with
2.5. The Cardinals forced two BC fumbles and recovered both,
one by James Fucillo and the other by Conor Stueckler. The
CUA defense allowed an uncharacteristic 15 points in the fourth
quarter. The Cardinals were terrific on third down defense, holding
the Eagles to a 1 of 14 showing. |
