Allendale, Mich. - #1 ranked Grand Valley State scored on the second play <strong>of</strong> the game and never looked back en route to a 49-17 victory over<br />

Mercyhurst Saturday night before a Family Day crowd <strong>of</strong> 10,121. The victory was the Lakers' 19th straight, extending the nation’s longest winning<br />

streak in NCAA college football. GVSU, which improves to 6-0 overall and 5-0 in GLIAC action, will hit the road for a GLIAC contest at<br />

Indianapolis next Saturday (Oct. 14).<br />

Senior QB Cullen Finnerty hit senior WR Eric Fowler with a 43-yard TD pass to open the scoring for Grand Valley State. Astin Martin scored<br />

the first <strong>of</strong> his three first half TDs at the 8:28 mark <strong>of</strong> the first quarter to culminate a seven-play, 77-yard drive. Mercyhurst scored its only points <strong>of</strong><br />

the first half on a Phil Scanlon 39-yard field goal with three ticks left on the clock in the first quarter. GVSU then scored 28 second quarter points.<br />

Fowler hauled in a 19 yard pass from Finnerty and Martin scored from 6 yards out to put the Lakers up 28-3 with 6:52 left in the first half. Junior<br />

receiver Jaquon Morrison sprinted 66 yards for a TD to finish a four-play, 80-yard drive. Martin finished the scoring with a two-yard TD run with<br />

13 seconds left in the first half to up the GVSU lead to 42-3.<br />

"I thought we came out ready to play," said third-year head coach Chuck Martin. "We showed great balance <strong>of</strong>fensively and the defense played<br />

well despite having several starters out," added Martin.<br />

The Laker starters, both on <strong>of</strong>fense and defense, sat the entire second half, but the Lakers kept the pressure on early. Morrison opened the third<br />

quarter for GVSU with a 51-yard TD scamper to up the lead to 49-3. Mercyhurst scored two TDs for the final margin <strong>of</strong> 49-17.<br />

Jaquon Morrison rushed for 113 yards and two TDs on just four carries, while Astin Martin toted the ball 10 times for 62 yards and three TDs.<br />

Finnerty completed 13-<strong>of</strong>-16 passes for 210 yards and two TDs, while rushing five times for 50 yards. Freshman Brad Iciek completed 4-<strong>of</strong>-7<br />

passes for 85 yards.<br />

Fowler caught three passes for 101 yards and two TDs, while Ryan Bass hauled in a career-high four passes for 85 yards. Terry Mitchell and<br />

Antione Trent each caught three passes. The Laker <strong>of</strong>fense rolled up a season-high 568 yards <strong>of</strong> total <strong>of</strong>fense, including 416 in the opening half.<br />

GVSU rushed for 273 yards and passed for 295.<br />

Derek Stansbery led the defense with seven tackles, while Drew Hinkle added six.<br />
