Angiletta, who ended the game with seven catches for 106 yards and two scores, made it 14-0 with 42 seconds left in the opening period with a 10-yard reception.

Arcidicano capped a seven-play, 58-yard drive with 10:22 left in the second quarter when he scored from 11 yards out.  The touchdown, his sixth of the year, made it 21-0.  Angiletta's 31-yard touchdown reception with 4:56 remaining in the half opened up a 28-0 Union advantage.  Arcidicano's three-yard scoring run with 10:46 left in the game made it 35-0.

St. Lawrence, which fell to 2-3 in the league and 3-5 overall, avoided the shutout with 7:39 left in the game when junior defensive back Adam Smith caused a fumble that Union swatted out of its own end zone.

The Dutchmen finished the game with 336 yards on 72 plays (an average of 4.7) and controlled the ball for 30:59.  The Saints, which had just 57 yards at the half, finished with 241 total yards on 63 plays, an average of 3.8.

While it was the sophomore class that sparked the offense, it was the members of the Class of 2005 who spearheaded the Dutchmen's defensive effort.  Linebacker Ed Larkin and defensive back Mike Flanagan, who were among 16 Union seniors playing their final regular-season home game, were each in on eight tackles.  Larkin had one of the Dutchmen's four quarterback sacks while senior defensive back Brian Griffin, was in on six tackles, picked off two passes.  Larkin and senior noseguard Andy Manocchio each caused a fumble.
