Inside the Devils Den
Fireside Review - DEVILS 40, McDaniel 20 (Westminster, Md.. - Gill Stadium)
The Devils posted 20 points each in the first and third quarters en route to a comfortable 40-20 Centennial Conference win over the host McDaniel College on a wet and rainy day in Maryland. Two
Presley Egbers runs of 20 and five yards respectively gave Dickinson a 13-0 lead with five minutes left in the first. The Red and White were not done however as
Diante Ball took a handoff and raced 78-yards to paydirt and the 20-0 edge through 15 minutes. After a one-yard Trent Gaskins TD cut the deficit to 20-7 at half, Ball found the endzone twice in the third once through the air (85 yards) and once more on the ground from (63 yards) extending the advantage out to 33-7 with not even four minutes gone in the frame. An 80-yard TD pass by Angel Granado brought the home side back on the board, before Egbers completed his hat trick with his third TD rush of the game making it 40-14. Gaskins would add a touchdown reception on the final play of the game to set the 40-20 result.
