SACKVILLE – The Acadia Axemen defeated the Mount Allison Mounties 29-14 on a sunny afternoon at MacAulay Field in Sackville. The Axemen had built a 29-0 lead by the end of the third quarter before the Mounties, on the strength of some of their most spirited play of the season, stormed back with 14 points in the fourth quarter.
Acadia struck first, forcing Mount Allison to concede a two-point safety at 5:59 of the first quarter. Acadia stretched their lead when Ryan Begin connected on a 12-yard field goal with just over five minutes to play in the first quarter. Acadia scored their first major of the day when Brett Haenni capped off a four-play, 31-yard drive at 1:55 of the second quarter. The score remained at 12-0 until quarterback Kyle Graves found Michael Squires in the end zone from seven yards out to make the score 19-0.
Acadia added to their lead on a 16-yard field goal by Begin at 4:11 of the third quarter. The longest play of the game came late in the third quarter when Kyle Graves connected on an 86-yard scoring play to Taylor Renaud to make the score 29-0.
Mount Allison found some life early in the fourth quarter when quarterback Jake Hotchkiss drove the team 61 yards down field, capping a seven-play drive with a 16-yard touchdown pass to second-year Mountie Josh Blanchard. With Acadia unable to move the ball on their next possession, Mount Allison went back to work, this time moving the ball 52 yards on three plays, finishing with Nathan Zavarella’s five-yard run for a major. Zavarella, the third-year running back, saw his first action of the season after returning from a broken foot sustained in training camp. Zavarella finished with 44 yards on 10 carries.
Acadia was led offensively by Haenni who had 114 yards rushing on 19 carries with one touchdown. Quarterback Kyle Graves was 17 of 27 for 244 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. For Mount Allison, quarterback Jake Hotchkiss was 15 of 30 for 248 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions. Nick Kukkonen led the Mounties with 78 yards on the ground on 11 carries. Defensively, Justin Richard led the Mounties with seven tackles. Rookie defensive lineman Jacob LeBlanc finished the day with 6.5 tackles.
With the win, Acadia moves to 4-1 on the season and sits tied with Saint Mary’s in first place. The Mounties fall to 0-5. Both teams continue the back end of a home-and-home series when Acadia hosts Mount Allison next Saturday, October 15th at 2PM. The following week Mount Allison returns home to host their first night game in the history of the program on Friday, October 21st when St.FX comes to town.
