Hoyas Fall to Columbia in Lou Little Trophy Game

WASHINGTON - The Georgetown University football team fell to the Columbia Lions 42-6 on Saturday afternoon at Cooper Field. The Hoyas drop to 1-3 on the season while the Lions move to 2-0 on the year.

ON THE RECORD
"Obviously, not the result that we wanted but I thought our guys played and battled hard, especially coming out of the half and scoring when we did. We made some mistakes in all three phases, which you cannot do against a good team like Columbia but was impressed with how our receiving corps played from top to bottom. Joshua Tomas, Cameron Crayton and Asante Das played extremely well and Dorrian Moultrie gave us a spark on his kick return to set us up for our touchdown. We will take a hard look at what we are doing this week and prepare to face Fordham in New York." - Head Coach Rob Sgarlata on today's contest against Columbia
 
HOYA HIGHLIGHTS
  • Tomas inched closer to the 2,000 career receiving yards mark, reeling in nine passes for 118 yards and giving him 1,979 for his career. The Hoya wideout moved into fifth all-time, surpassing Michael Dereus on his first catch of the day, which went for 29 yards.
  • Crayton pulled down six catches for 71 yards while Das picked up his first touchdown of the season.
  • Freshman Mateen Ibirogba picked up his second sack of the season, forcing a seven-yard loss on one of his five tackles on the day.
  • De'Andre Wilborn also tallied five tackles against the Lions, registering his first career sack which went for a loss of seven.
  • Hoya linebacker Justin Fonteneaux led the game with 11 tackles.

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Both teams were held off the board in the opening frame while Sherman Steptoe II registered his second interception of the season on the Lions' opening drive. 
  • Columbia broke the scoreless tie in the second and took a 13-0 lead into halftime.
  • After another Lion touchdown in the third (20-0), Moultrie returned the ensuing kickoff 70 yards and put the Hoyas in great field position. The Hoyas battled deep in Columbia's territory before Pierce Holley capitalized with an 18-yard strike to Das over the middle for the score (20-6).
  • The Lions pulled away in the fourth quarter before knocking off GU 42-6.
