Axemen improve to 5-1 after homecoming victory


Acadia’s 29 unanswered points in the second half gave the Axemen a convincing 40-10 win over winless Mount Allision Mounties in front of 2746 Homecoming fans at Acadia’s Raymond Field.

The Mounties showed spirit in the first half, holding the Axemen to 11-2 lead, but the dam burst open in the third quarter on a running game led by third year runningback Zach Skibin who punched in for one major while compiling 170 net yards on 21 carries with a longest of the day run for 33 yards.

Acadia took a 11-0 first quarter lead on a team safety and two Ryan Begin Rouges, plus a Taylor Renaud 58 yard pass reception for the first of five Acadia touchdowns.

The Mounties tightened the lead to one with a second quarter team safety, Alec Curtis rouge and a one yard run by Nick Kukkonen that ended a 10 play, 63 yard drive in the third quarter to narrow the margin to 11-10.

As the Mounties gained momentun, Acadia put the offense into overdrive, responding with a 77 yard drive fuled by the running of Zach Skibin. Kyle Graves sprinted for the 6 yard major to start the 29 point scoriing spree.

Holden Morales added a one yard dive for a touchdown late in the fourth quarter, while teammates AJ Durling and Zach Skibin topped the glass with two touchdowns late in the fourth quarter along with Ryan Begin’s third rouge of the afternoon.

Taylor Renaud led the Axemen with 2 receptions for 61 yards and Mike Squires added 44 yards receiving on four catches. Axeman pivot Kyle Graves was 11 for 21 passes, adding 176 yards of passing to Acadia’s 410 net offensive yards.

Mountie Mark Fullerton grabbed the Mt. Allison player of the game honours with five solo tackles, three assisted tackles and a tackle for a loss of two yards. Mount Allison pulled together only 162 net yards, with a season low of 46 yards in the air with quarterback Jake Hotchkiss landing 10 of 18 attempts and was sacked twice.

The Mounties will hope to regroup this coming weekend as they host the 1-5 StFX X-Men next Friday night at 7pm – the first night game hosted by the Mounties. The Axemen will hope revenge 8-3 loss to the Saint Mary’s in week four as they host the Huskies next Saturday afternoon.
