Game Background

• SU opened its PSAC East slate last Saturday with its first win of 2013, a 41-31 victory over previously undefeated East Stroudsburg in SU's home opener from SU Student Association Field at Seth Grove Stadium.

• Junior wide receiver Trevor Harman earned his first career PSAC East Offensive Player of the Week award on Sunday after catching six passes for 151 yards and three touchdowns vs. ESU. Among his three TDs were a toe-dragging 20-yard TD in the back of the endzone with 10 seconds left in the first half and an 81-yard bomb up the sideline in the fourth quarter for SU's longest play from scrimmage this season.

• Senior quarterback Zach Zulli threw four touchdowns to give him 95 on his career, making him one of just five players in PSAC history with 95 or more passing touchdowns.

• Junior transfer Shannon Maura returned a kickoff 96 yards for a touchdown in the fourth quarter for the first kickoff return score by a Red Raider since Oct. 3, 2009. Maura's 240 kick return yards shattered the school single-game record (previously 158 by Mike Erlandson on Oct. 25, 1997).

• Under the lights last Saturday, Millersville fell at home to then-No. 20 West Chester, 48-3. The Golden Rams compiled 456 yards rushing and limited the Marauders to just 121 yards of total offense, with just seven yards coming on the ground.
