The Dickinson defense was solid in the red zone, recovering a fumble on the 10 yard line and breaking up a great pass into the corner of the endzone. Pat McNeal (Glen Mills, Pa./Archmere)led the way with 10 stops while sophomore Andrew Fink (Schuylkill Haven, Pa./Schuylkill Haven) made nine tackles and recovered the fumble to stall the Hobart drive early in the second quarter.

Mitchell then hit tackle-eligible Anthony Abbate (Haddonfield, N.J./Haddonfield) in the flat for a seven yard gain. Mitchell scored on fourth-and-one to put Dickinson on the board with 4:37 remaining in the half.

The Statesmen drove deep into Devil territory as time was winding down in the half. The defense stalled the drive on the seven, forcing Hobart to settle for a 25 yard field-goal to end the half.

Dickinson scored on its first two possessions of the second half as Lord broke free for a 39 yard touchdown and Mitchell scrambled in with a great run from 19 yards out to put the Devils in control, 20-3, at the end of the third quarter.

The Dickinson defense forced the Statesmen to attempt another field-goal in the fourth quarter. This one sailed wide left, giving the Devils the ball on their own 22 yard line.

Wells found a hole and ran 33 yards to help later set-up a three yard pass from Mitchell to Sandoe, closing out the scoring for the day with just over five minutes remaining in the game.

The Red Devil offensive line turned in an outstanding performance as the Devils rushed for 298 yards on the day and had no turnovers.

Quarterback Doug Vella (Franklin Sqaure, N.Y./Chaminade) led Hobart with 79 yards rushing and 65 yards in the air. Kyle O'Laughlin (Syracuse, N.Y./Onondaga) recorded a game-high 12 tackles. Mike Faracca (Williamsville, N.Y./Williamsville East) blocked a pair of extra-points.
