BOXSCORE 

KUTZTOWN, Pa. Dontay Wilson ran for 162 yards and two scores, Shane Martin accounted for two TDs and the defense pitched its first shutout in five years as Kutztown University opened its season with a 35-0 win over St. Anselm Thursday night. 

Martin accounted for both of KU's first-half TDs, hooking up with Kaleb Klosky on an 8-yard pass, then running in from 17 yards out, both in the second quarter. Wilson scored on second-half runs of 27 and 45 yards, sandwiched around a 3 yard run by fullback Joe Strauss

KU's defense allowed just 178 yards, including a paltry 33 passing, in earning its first shutout since a 17-0 blanking of Millersville in 2003.   

Wilson finished with 162 yards on 12 carries. Martin completed 20-of-23 passes for 240 yards. Tight end Nick Aspromonte led receivers with 92 yards on four catches. 

For the Hawks, quarterback Marc Wilson ran for 86 yards on 24 carries. 

After a scoreless first frame, Martin engineered the first scoring drive of the season. He had a 22-yard run and a 36-yard completion to Jason Uhlig to set up the scoring strike to Klosky on a fade into the end zone.

Following a St. Anselm punt, KU needed two fourth down conversions, a 7-yard run by Strauss and a 16-yard pass by Martin, to set up the QB's scoring run.

KU almost went scored again before halftime, but Mark Colantonio intercepted Martin's pass at the goal line with 17 seconds left to keep it 14-0 at the break.

Dontay Wilson's first TD capped a quick four-play drive early in the third.  KU then marched 90 yards on seven plays, ending in Strauss' TD run, early in the fourth. 

Wilson capped the scoring on KU's next possession, barreling into the line of scrimmage before rolling away and scampering 45 yards untouched to paydirt.

The Hawks, which had just four passing yards until the fourth quarter and finished with just 33, drove into KU territory twice in the final frame.  However, KU's defense stiffened to preserve the shutout.  Kevin Branco blew up an option attempt and dove on the loose ball to stop the first drive, then Kevin Bolinsky recovered a loose ball after Craig Croman sacked Marc Wilson and forced the fumble.

Bolinsky paced the defense with 10 tackles.  Sam McKellar added nine and David Cressman notched eight.  Cory Porrino had an interception and Croman had a pair of sacks. 

Dan Bohenek led SAC's defense with 12 tackles, including a sack, with and a fumble recovery.
