Ivy Game Roundup

NEW YORK -- James Perry threw four touchdown passes as Brown won its fourth straight game Saturday, 37-18 over winless Fordham. Fordham quarterback Matt Giorgia threw a school-record 65 passes, completing 31 for 343 yards and an interception. Al Lundy rushed for two TDs for the Rams (0-8) and Brian Colsant kicked a pair of field goals that gave them a 6-0 lead by 13:26 of the second quarter. After Perry hit Gessner for a 16-yard score at 8:35 of the second, Lundy's 15-yard TD run put Fordham back on top, 12-7. Jensen's two field goals gave Brown a 13-12 halftime lead, before the Bears scored 17 unanswered points to break it open. ITHACA, N.Y. -- Ricky Rahne threw for 206 yards and three touchdowns to lead Cornell to a 31-14 win over Wagner Saturday. Rahne completed 20-of-28 passes without an interception. Justin Dunleavy caught eight of them for 60 yards and a touchdown while Deon Harris ran for 120 yards on 26 carries. Cornell (5-2, 4-1) drove 71 yards in 11 plays the first time it had the ball and finished the drive with a 26-yard run off left tackle by Harris just 6:04 into the game. Harris was only in the game because of a quick injury to starter Brian Ulbricht, who was hurt on the game's fifth play. The Big Red's second TD was set up by an interception by Cornell safety David Caputo at his own 10-yard line. He ran it back to the 23, where Rahne went to work. Cornell drove 77 yards, finishing with a six-yard TD pass to Dunleavy with 12:37 left in the first half. Big Red kicker John McCombs came through hitting all four conversions on the day as well as a 40-yard field goal that gave Cornell a 17-0 lead. Wagner (4-4) fought back with a 63-yard TD pass from Lou Simone to Chuck Kinsley. But Cornell aimed to score again before halftime, driving 62 yards in nine plays including a four-yard TD pass to wide receiver Keith Furguson with five second left. Cornell controlled the ball in the second half, scoring a second TD in the third quarter when Rahne hit Tim Hermann for an 11-yard score at the end of a 54-yard drive. Wagner mustered one more score, a 22-yard TD pass from Aaron Smith to Mike Cerminaro with 1:18 left in the game. Wagner's Simone ended the day with 136 yards passing, a touchdown, was intercepted once and sacked three times. "I thought Cornell capitalized on turnovers," Wagner head coach Walt Hameline said. "They moved the ball well on us in the first half?. It could have gotten really ugly in the second half but [Wagner] played tough and hard." "The offense executed at times, at other times we just didn't and that's when we got hurt," Rahne said. BOSTON -- Chris Menick ran for four touchdowns and Brad Wilford threw for three Saturday as three Harvard players set school records in beating Dartmouth 63-21. Menick ran for 120 yards in setting the school record for career rushing with 3,157 yards. It was the single best game for the senior running back and second most touchdowns scored by a Harvard player since 1951. Dartmouth (1-6, 1-3) jumped to a 7-0 lead on their opening drive when Brian Mann, who completed 22-of-36 passes for 165 yards, threw a seven-yard touchdown pass to Reggie Belhomme. But Harvard (5-2, 3-1) came back with 21 unanswered points. Harvard senior split end Terrence Patterson caught six passes for 26 yards as he set the career record for receptions with 128. The old record was 122. And Wilford, a senior, completed 26 of 34 passes for 398 yards with three touchdowns, breaking a school record for passing yardage in a single game. The old record of 358 yards was set in 1983. Menick's one-yard run tied the game at 7-7 at 6:33 of the first quarter. Wilford then completed touchdown passes of seven yards to Andy Fried and three yards to Chris Stakich as the Crimson jumped in front 21-7. The Crimson led 35-14 at the half. Menick's other touchdowns came on runs of two, 12 and 4 yards. PRINCETON, N.J. -- Tommy Crenshaw passed for 304 yards and two touchdowns and Kyle Brandt ran for two more to lead Princeton to a 44-15 win over Columbia Saturday in the battle to avoid last place in the Ivy League. Crenshaw completed 24-of-33 passes in becoming the first Tiger since 1991 to pass for at least 300 yards in a game. Both the sophomore's touchdown passes came in a 24-point second quarter that put Princeton (3-4, 1-3) in command. The first was a 33-yarder to Chisom Opara that opened the scoring and the second covered 35 yards to Marty Cheatham. Brandt also scored on a 54-yard run in the quarter, while Taylor Northrup added a 39-yard field goal as Princeton kept Columbia (2-5, 0-4) winless in the league.
