Football Falls to Union in Opener.

HAMBURG, N.Y. – Hilbert football lost 65-0 in their home opener against Union College today at St. Francis High School. The Garnet Chargers dominated on the ground in this one, rushing for 468 yards as a team.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
 
After the Hawks began the game with a quick three and out, Union took little time to get on the board. Running back Michael Fiore capped off a five play, 38-yard drive with an 11-yard rushing score to put his team up 6-0 early. Max Gluck, who was 9/9 on extra points, made it a 7-point lead for Union. The first quarter would see three more Union rushers find the endzone. Jonathan Anderson (12 yards), Jon Rust (9 yards), and Fiore (49 yards) again would all find paydirt on the ground in the opening 15 of this one.
The second quarter brought much of the same in terms of Union success. Donovan Pacatte, and Fiore each finished off 36-yard drives with rushing scores. Pacatte's designed quarterback run resulted in a 21-yard score, and Fiore's third rushing touchdown of the day went for 23 yards. A Patch Flanagan 32-yard strike to Tommy Leonard brought the Garnet Chargers lead up to 49-0.
 The highlight for the Hawks in this one came when game leader in tackles, Taivaughn Roach (19 tackles), forced a fumble right in front of the Hawks endzone. Lamario Jones scooped up the ball to secure the position for Hilbert.
However, the momentum was short lived when Darion Reed was tackled in the Hawks' endzone for a safety on the ensuing play to bring the lead to 51-0 for Union. This would be the score heading into the break.
Much of the second half was salted away on the ground, resulting in a much lower scoring half than the first. Union running back Stephen Petruzzeillo got in on the action with a pair of rushing scores (2, 68 yards). These would be the only points of the half as Union cruised to a 65-0 week-one win.
 
GAME NOTES
 
  • Roach led the way on defense with 19 tackles, one sack, and a forced fumble.
