CHESTER, Pa. – Senior Ryan Umpleby (Forest Hill, Md./Fallston) used 189 yards to become the third player in the Lycoming College football team's history to post 1,000 all-purpose yards in three straight seasons, but Lycoming fell to a Widener University team that limited Lycoming to 126 yards of total offense, 48-7, on Saturday, Oct. 31, at Leslie C. Quick Jr. Stadium.
 
The Warriors (2-6 overall, 2-5 MAC) did pick off a season-high three passes, but Widener used 272 rushing yards to make up for it. Sophomore Mike Ward (Edgewater, Md./South River) led the effort with seven tackles and an interception, while freshmen Jarrelle Payne (Jersey City, N.J./Liberty) and Khamari Williams (Gaithersburg, Md./The Avalon School) each also added picks.
 
Umpleby, who needed four yards in the game to join Craig Needhammer (2012-14) and Brian Thompson (1996-98) in the 1,000-yard club, posted 189, thanks to 142 on seven kickoff returns, 10 yards on a punt return, 16 yards rushing and 21 receiving. He is second on the team in all-purpose yards with 1,185, just four behind junior Blake Bowman (Valley View, Pa./Tri-Valley), who ran for 74 yards on 17 carries.
 
Down 10-0, the Warriors got on the board early in the second quarter thanks to a 10-play, 75-yard drive, with Bowman running five times on the drive and a personal foul penalty also aiding the Warriors before junior Chase Whiteman (Gettysburg, Pa./Gettysburg) found Umpleby for a 3-yard score.
 
Widener responded on the next drive, getting three points back with a seven-play, 61-yard drive before Ryan O'Hara hit a 30-yard field goal. Widener added another score midway through the second quarter, with Robert Getz scoring on an 18-yard rush to cap a 35-yard drive to make it 20-7. Late in the first half, the Pride took advantage of a 61-yard punt return by Jake Parola before Alex Krivda found Philip Ragona for an eight-yard touchdown on the first play of the drive to help the Pride take a 27-7 lead into the break.
 
The Pride added three more scores in the second half, with Krivda finding Ragona for a nine-yard touchdown with 10:37 left in the third before Krivda scored on a nine-yard run with 19 seconds left in the quarter. Krivda added one more score with a 29-yard touchdown pass to Max Kutler with 13:34 left in the fourth.
 
The Pride got started with their first drive of the game, driving 51 yards in 10 plays, ending it with a 32-yard field goal by Ryan O'Hara after the Warriors forced Widener into a 4-and-11 at the 15-yard line. After an interception ended Lycoming's first drive, Payne returned the favor with an interception at the Lycoming 1-yard line. However, the Pride returned the favor on the next play and 33-yards later, Alex Krivda found Blaine Price for a 15-yard touchdown to give the Pride a 10-0 lead with 2:50 left in the first half.
 
Whiteman finished 7-of-14 for 48 yards and a touchdown. He was intercepted twice. The Warriors used three quarterbacks in the game, as sophomore Chase Williams (Damascus, Md./Damascus) went 3-of-5 for 22 yards in his first action and sophomore Collin Wright (Secane, Pa./Ridley) went 1-of-3. Sophomore Sam Dressler (Riverside, Pa./Danville Area) ran six times for 20 yards.
 
Getz ran the ball 16 times for 123 yards and a touchdown and Malik Murray had a 71-yard carry in the third quarter. Krivda finished 25-of-40 for 183 yards, two interceptions and four touchdowns. Price caught five passes for 54 yards and a touchdown and Kutler caught five passes for 52 yards and a score.
 
Sophomore Caleb Robbins (Williamsport, Pa./Loyalsock Township) added six stops and a breakup and junior Jon Rummell (Lykens, Pa./Williams Valley), senior John Ciurlino (Springfield, Pa./Springfield), senior Matt Malecki (Stevensville, Md./Kent Island) and senior Cole Welham (Lewistown, Pa./Lewistown Area) all had four solo tackles and a tackle for loss. Welham also had a sack.
 
Stacey Sunnerville led the Pride with eight tackles and three sacks and Brandon Jones added five stops and 3.5 sacks.
