FOOTBALL SUFFERS LOSS TO OHIO ON HOMECOMING

Hornets still searching for first win in the MAC

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Ohio remained unbeaten in the MAC and spoiled Homecoming for Sacramento State with a 48-7 win at Hornet Stadium on Saturday night.
 
The win improved to the Bobcats to 5-2 overall and 3-0 in the MAC. The Hornets dropped to 1-6 overall and 0-4 in league games.
 
Ohio scored on its opening drive and led 7-0 through the end of the first quarter behind a 3-yard run from Duncan Brune. The team stretched its lead to 27-0 at the half and quickly scored on a 67-yard pass from Nick Poulos to Preston Bowman on the opening series of the second half.
 
Sacramento State broke through early in the fourth quarter when Brian Salazar Jr. found Kenyon Shabazz for a 38-yard catch-and-run touchdown. The scores were the first for both players as a Hornet.
 
The Bobcats dominated nearly every statistical category, outgaining Sacramento State, 468-267 and holding a nearly seven-minute edge in time of possession (33:11-26:49). The Hornets also committed a turnover and were flagged a season-high 12 times for 130 yards.
