SCHENECTADY, N.Y. -- The Union College football team struggled in its Homecoming game against Ithaca as the Bombers won, 24-0, on Saturday afternoon at Frank Bailey Field at Bertagna-Class of 1985 Stadium.
The Dutchmen drop to 4-2 (0-2 Liberty League) with the loss while Ithaca improves to 4-2 (1-1 Liberty League) with the win.
Ithaca jumped out to a fast start, scoring two touchdowns in the first quarter, before adding a third in the second quarter for a halftime lead of 21-0.
Union's defense was able to keep the Bombers out of the end zone for the entire second half, as Ithaca could only add a field goal to its points total before the end of the game.
Unfortunately, Ithaca kept the high-scoring Dutchmen offense grounded as the Bombers went on to win their first Liberty League game of the year.
Summary
- Union was held to a season-low 143 yards passing and 42 yards rushing.
- Ithaca intercepted four Union passes.
- The Bombers had three sacks in the contest.
- Union's defense limited Ithaca to just 97 yards rushing.
