The SVC football team lost to a tough squad from Case Western Reserve University on the road in Cleveland by a score of 37-7.
 
Both teams traded punts on the opening two possessions, before the Bearcats moved the ball into Case territory on their second drive of the game.  A completion from Zavion Thompson to Ariel Martinez moved the ball to the Case 23, but a fumble on first down ended the drive.

The defense answered right back, as freshman George Hillen forced a fumble by the Spartans at the Bearcat 25, that was recovered by Ben Davis at the 17.  

After a Saint Vincent punt, Case (5-1, 4-1 Presidents' Athletic Conference) put together a five-play scoring drive that carried over into the second quarter, hitting a 23-yard field goal to go in front, 3-0.
 
From there, the hosts took control of the game, as three straight Bearcat possessions ended in punts, while Case Western answered each time with a touchdown, taking a 24-0 lead into the locker room at halftime.  
 
The Spartans added a touchdown on the opening drive of the second half, taking a 30-0 lead before the extra point was blocked.  They added another score later in the third quarter, taking a 37-0 lead into the fourth.
 
The lone Bearcat score of the day came in the fourth quarter, when Tekoah Guedes connected on a 36-yard touchdown pass with freshman Langston Hampton.  It was Hampton's first collegiate reception.  
 
For the Bearcats, Guedes was the team's leading rusher, with 33 yards on 10 carries.  Thompson was 12-for-21 through the air, for 125 yards. Guedes was 2-6 for 64 yards, while Michael Navarro was 4-for-5 for 28 yards.

For Case, Drew Saxton was 22-32 passing for 348 yards and 4 touchdowns.  Ryan Coolidge was 6-8 for 67 yards.  Colt Morgan caught 15 passes for 281 yards.
