HALIFAX, N.S. – The Saint Maryβs Huskies overcame a very slow start to defeat the Mount Allison Mounties 54-14 in front of an opening daycrowd of 2845. The Huskiesβ offence struggled in the first half, scoring only five points and managed a mere 107 total net yards. Saint Maryβs utilized a carousel of quarterbacks in the opening half earning only 68 yards passing while giving up two long interception returns (72 and 64 yards respectively). The latter interception was by Mount Allison defensive back Donovan Saunders.
The second half was an entirely different ball game. The Mounties handed the Huskies the ball in the shadow of their own goal posts after a botched snap on a punt attempt. Craig Leger scored on the next play from scrimmage (a 6 yard run). A minute-forty later SMU scored again to pull ahead for good.
Saint Maryβs kicker Brett Lauther enjoyed an excellent day and was named the player of the game. He averaged 43.6 yards per punt on nine punts. He averaged 60 yards per kick off and was 3 of 5 on field goals (41, 35, and 25 yards).
In inter-conference play, Saint Maryβs (1-0) heads off to play the University of Montreal Carabins (1-0), while the Mount Allison Mounties (0-1) host the Bishop Gaiters (0-1).
