Box Score
BELTON, Texas – No. 19 Louisiana College's visit to No. 4 Mary Hardin-Baylor started out almost perfectly. The Wildcats scored the first 10 points of the game and held the mighty Cru offense in check.

However, a collection of stalled series and turnovers resulted in 36 unanswered points and a 36-10 victory for Mary Hardin Baylor (5-0, 3-0 American Southwest Conference).

Louisiana College (3-1, 1-1 American Southwest Conference) committed three turnovers, all interceptions, and was forced to punt eight times, tied for fourth most in a single game in school history.

The Wildcats came out firing on all cylinders, marching their first possession 61 yards in 13 plays and taking a 3-0 lead on a 24-yard field goal by Adan Olivares.

Two possessions later, and following an interception by Reggie Calhoun, LC increased its lead to 10-0 when Dayne Reeves set up a two-yard touchdown run by Ryan Montague with a 40-yard reception of a Jamie Bunting pass.

Mary Hardin-Baylor was not dead and, with 5:26 to play in the second quarter, drew to within 10-7 of the lead after junior quarterback LiDarral Bailey capped a nine-play, 66-yard drive with a 10-yard touchdown run, the first touchdown surrendered by the LC defense in 10 quarters.

On the Cru's next possession Bailey accounted for 52 of 62 yards on a three-play drive that ended with a 10-yard touchdown run by Darius Wilson and a 14-10 lead for Mary Hardin-Baylor.

After a three-and-out by the LC offense, the Cru pushed its lead to 17-10 just before the half with a 33-yard field goal by Chad Peevey.

Peevey added a 40 -yard field goal on the Cru's first drive of the second half to bump the score to 20-10.

After five consecutive series in which the Wildcats and Cru were forced to punt, the Cru upped its lead to 26-10 with 54 seconds to play in the third quarter after Elijah Hudson struck on a 43-yard run to cap a nine-play, 79-yard drive.

A third field goal by Peevey, this a 31-yard effort with seven minutes to play, made the score 29-10 and effectively ended the game.

An 66-yard interception returned for a touchdown by Mary Hardin-Baylor's Cody Jones rounded out the scoring.

Wilson, Bailey and Hudson each eclipsed the 100-yard rushing mark for the Cru, Wilson gaining 171 yards on 25 carries, Bailey 110 yards on 19 carries and Hudson 103 yards on 13 carries.

Louisiana College's rushing attack, which last week set a new school single-game rushing record with 396 yards versus Mississippi College, was held to just 56 yards.

Reeves was the star of the game for Louisiana College making eight catches for 121 yards.

Bunting went 15-for-37 passing for 193 yards and was intercepted once. Backup quarterback Tim Curry went 11-for-18 for 82 yards and was intercepted twice.

Louisiana College returns home next week for a 6 p.m. Saturday showdown with American Southwest Conference rival East Texas Baptist.
