Concordia's defense was just too tough for Maranatha to deal with Saturday as the Falcons held the Crusader offense to 8 total yards for the entire afternoon on the way to a 35-0 win.

Neither team got anything going in their first two possesions, but Concordia eventually put together a 72 yard march to paydirt at the end of the first quarter. Carlton Austin carried 3 times for 45 yards on that series before Anthony Bruder bolted over from 3 yards out.

CUW scored twice within :30 in quarter number two; first on a 12 yard scoring run by Matt Gould; and then again on a Pat Czerwiek to Tommy Guest TD toss after Maranatha fumbled the ensuing kickoff.

Falcon Ben Bobowski ran back an interception for one final period score and Austin rambled 13 yards for another to create the 35-0 final.

Greg Etter's troops amassed 281 yards of real estate with Austin churning out 114 of those on 13 carries. Czerwiek completed 10 of 23 passes for 108 yards with Leon Davis snaring 4 of those completions for 37 yards.

The visitors had -17 yards rushing and 25 passing for the entire afternoon. Concordia picked off 3 of Bobby O'Brien's 9 aerial attempts (two by Bobowski) and the third by Matt Upson.

Concordia (2-0 in the NAC) will travel to Benedictine (also 2-0) next Saturday.
