The Susquehanna football team broke out of a "seven year itch" against Lycoming, beating the Warriors 17-13. It was the Crusaders' first win over their regional rival since 2000.


Sophomore tailback Dave Paveletz (Warrior Run, Pa./Hanover Area) rumbled for a two-yard touchdown with 8:09 to go in the fourth quarter. Paveletz rushed 28 times for 116 yards on the day, and also scored Susquehanna's other touchdown at almost the identical time, 8:08, in the second quarter.


It was a typical Susquehanna-Lycoming clash: a back-and-forth battle that saw the lead change hands three times and featured six turnovers - two of them being interceptions off of tipped Derek Pope (Selinsgrove, Pa./Selinsgrove) passes that bounced into Warrior hands.


Lycoming would strike first when tight end Bill Margetich caught a 10-yard pass from Colin Dwyer just four minutes into the first quarter. Susquehanna would answer quickly on Paveletz's first touchdown run on the day three minutes later. The Crusaders added a Bobby Eppleman (Chester Springs, Pa./Great Valley) field goal right before halftime to go into the locker room up 10-7.


The Warriors used the Dwyer-to-Margetich combination again late in the third to retake the lead, 13-10. The Crusaders did their own repeat with Paveletz in the fourth quarter. That score would hold up through a back-and-forth defensive battle to give the Crusaders their first win of the season.


Jon Baker (Lewistown, Pa./Lewistown) had 11 tackles for the Crusaders, 2.5 for loss, and added a sack.


Next game: Saturday, Sept. 22 at St. Lawrence, 1 p.m. (first-ever Liberty League game)
